I have thought it may be bad, but there are so few components inside that it is hard to imagine any failure mode other than flat dead, yet it is not dead, just a few dBs short. Anyhow, I have a Symmetricom antenna driving a Symmetricom active splitter obtained from someone on the list, may have been John A, which works very well, so the Bullet is taking a rest :) Didier Rob Kimberley <robkimber...@btinternet.com> wrote: >Didier, > >The 9390s were supplied with Trimble Bullets and were usually very >sensitive as long as you watch cable length/attenuation. >It sounds like you Bullet is faulty. >Rob > >-----Original Message----- >From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On >Behalf Of Didier Juges >Sent: 09 June 2013 19:42 >To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement >Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Datum 9390 issues & spectracom 8195a woes > >My own Trimble Bullet, and others as far as I can tell by reading this >list, is not very sensitive in general.
