Hello Gents (and Ladies), I am in a bit of a quandary. I have been using a Synergy Timing 3000 GPS antenna in a test set-up for some time and recently got a VIC-100 antenna, thinking that its greater spec-sheet gain (38dBi vs 25dB(i?) typical) would allow for a longer down-lead in the field if needed. Upon testing, the VIC-100 appears to have around 10dB LESS gain than the Timing 3000 and I would say is barely adequate on 25 ft of LMR-195! I used a switched attenuator pad with 2 DC blocks for the test and set each antenna to comparable SNR levels as indicated using TAC32 with an M12M-T. I have tried a second VIC-100 with the same results. Would anyone have an explanation for this?
Thanks, David McGaw N1HAC _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
