Max 232's invert the polarity. You have to follow with an inverting gate if the TTL stuff worked.

Look at item # 330838910970 on eBay.  It is almost exactly what I have,
lots of people sell them.   It is just the max232 chip but the packaging
looks clean and easy to use.

But as I remember I had to use at least one inverter gate.  I forgot why
maybe to drive the PPS or the LED I wanted to add.

I don't have a VE2ZAZ board.  I was using the UT+ for NTP server.   My next
project is to build a GPSDRO (GPS Disciplined Rubidium Oscillator)   I
could likely count the 10MHz output for 10,000 seconds.

Hi Chris,

Thanks.  Our setup is a bit different.  My oscillator is the Trimble
34310-T and I'm using an Oncore UT+ receiver board.  What are you using for
your RS-232-TTL converter?  I'm looking for one that will look relatively
"clean" when I get it mounted on the back of this HP 37203A box..  I'm also
interested in the idea of using a USB-TTL converter, but I haven't seen a
decent one with the square(ish) socket, rather than the rectangular one.

Hi Bob.

My configuration is:

    - HP 10811-60111 10 Mhz oscillator
    - Trimble Resolution-T GPS card
    - VE2ZAZ controller board
    - homebrew power supplies
    - RS232 switchable between GPS and VE2ZAZ controller
    - little e-bay puck GPS antenna on the top of an 8' post outside my
window.

I did get the software for the Resolution-T from the Trimble
site and did a site survey.

My software settings for the VE2ZAZ controller board are:

S: 00E1  (a few seconds more than one hour)
F: 01    (for this osc the fine adj is not useful)
L: B1
H: 10
W: c8
N: 0A
O: 01
X: 02
M: 01

I've had the thing running for about a year.
It took a while to figure out a bad solder joint in
my oscillator that made the DAC voltage ineffective.
Since it's been running right I have had the opportunity
to compare it to a cesium standard and I'm happy.

There is also a mailing list for the VE2ZAZ controller
where you might find more info:
