Hi Bob, I connected 10 MHZ test jack output to a 15 db el-cheepo CATV amp and the output of that to a 4 way splitter. Splitter outputs went to 3336-3586 and counter. All seem to like the ref signal. Output of the amp takes makes the semi-square wave into a sick saw tooth. Amp is only rated from 50 to 500 mhz so strange things are happening with 10 MHZ input. Other CATV amps do have better low fx response - will play with that later.
I have 10 mhz pulse from Lucent into trigger input of 465 scope and Thunderbolt gps output into vertical input of scope. Time base is set for .01 Usec per div. I notice that trace moves right to left then left to right about every 5 min or so. Moves about 3 div before changing directions. Why? Is the Lucent still making a list? It has only been on for a few hours. It takes about 10 min for GPS to go out from a cold start. (My Thunderbolt and RB do not change direction when using one as trigger and the other for vert input to scope) I ordered a USB to RS422 converter cable - will be here next week. What program is sort of working? Using Windoze 7 64bit and have an old XP machine available. Sure do appreciate all the info from our time nuts gurus! 73, Bill, WA2DVU Cape May, NJ --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
