Hi. I'm pretty new to time nuts. I'm pretty much a novice, but a novice in training. I subscribed to this group because I had reviewed pertinent information that was being shared, and I appreciate the acceptance. I'm not sure I can be of much immediate help to any others, but perhaps eventually. Having said that, I come here, today, seeing some knowledge and advice. I have a Lucent RFTGm-II-Rb/Lucent RFTGm-II-XO unit. I intend to convert the 15MHz output to 10MHz for use as a GPSDO for an external standard for my test equipment that I'm slowly acquiring and learning about, and learning about and acquiring. I've seen the project where the 15 MHz was converted to 10 MHz. Helpful. I have some questions about this specific unit, or set. They are combined on a common rack that is much larger than my test equipment, when coupled. There are some distribution hubs that are located on top of each, respectively. Combiner/splitter. One is the 15 pin D-sub connector type. The other is BNC. Does anybody have access to the operating manuals for these, as well as the software, if one wishes to marry it to a PC and another program? The next question is also GPSDO related. I have four of the 469357A GPS antennas that were utilized with this equipment. According to some sources, they have a gain of 20 dB. According to other sources, they have a gain of 30 dB. According to some sources, the gain is somewhere in between. Does anybody know for sure what the Nokia/Symmetricom ratings are, apart from their being 5V? Finally, for now, does anybody have any recommendations as to how I could, in an affordable manner, without spending $350+ on a new GPS antenna combiner, combine the signals for these four GPS antennas, to be utilized by the single Lucent RFTGm-II-Rb/Lucent RFTGm-II-XO combined unit? As a measure to foil GOS spoofing, as well as giving a better chance of locking into satellites quicker, as well as maintaining connection, with multiple receivers located on each of four corners of a dwelling, since I don't have the best unobstructed location for optimal satellite signal, due to a canopy of trees, and other residential buildings with similar landscaping? One more finally. This address says Mary. Long story. I'm Brian. I started using this address long ago, and have remained in the habit of it. I've still managed to remain in the habit of heterosexuality, despite. Just wanted to let others know this is a guy and not some potentially unbelievably good looking chick who is into ultimate geekery. Any help would be appreciated.
