Hi I’ve played with one of those ...
Ok, that’s the antenna that turned into the “micro centered” version. The antenna came out in the same era as the 4000 series survey GPS units. With the ground plane it’s quite large. It does pretty well with the ground plane, but good luck finding a place to mount it. Like many of the Trimble survey antennas, that one has about a 50 db amplifier in it. That amp will overdrive most GPSDO’s. It also needs a supply up around +12 rather than the more normal (on timing gear) +5V. Bob > On Jun 16, 2015, at 1:11 AM, M.
