A quick review of the manual shows a GPS antenna downconverter, external
device.
So, it may take more than a GPS antenna/RF preamplifier, like I use with
my Trimble.
Hopefully you will get the down converter also.
Have you ever worked near Cham ?

In this case, I found out a little more. It actually is an NTS-100i,
sub-model NIC-215.
I have no idea if this will eventually be good, bad, or indifferent, but
the price was right.
Thanks.

Bruce,
The NTS-100 is almost identical to the 100i, save for the fact that i
doesn't have the network management module (serial management only)
and DOES produce time code on the serial port.
There was a link for the 100i manual on the Symmetricom web site when
last I checked, and I found a link to a 100 manual also, but don't
have the web site handy.
One thing to be careful about, there were several versions of the NTS
100 family, some are GPS based, some actually DO sync to an IRIG
signal instead.
So you might have a mistaken seller, and you might have one of the
less common IRIG units without a GPS.
The Part number can usually disambiguate the different versions.

My scrounging luck pulsed this morning, netting me a cheap ($47 with
shipping) TrueTime NTS-100 from That Auction Site.
It was billed as a 'tech special,' in that the seller claimed
it powered
up but he was unable to "get it to lock to an IRIG signal."
Unless I'm mistaken, the NTS-100 is a GPS-based device, yes?
I'm off to hunt for its manual, but if anyone has any words of wisdom
(or wit) on these units, I'll listen. ;-)
Thanks much.
