Greetings Time Nuts Group Members A few quick questions regarding the Trimble Thunderbolt and similar GPSDO unit power consumption.
I've obtained and currently use the Thunderbolt GPSDO having the case top power connector requiring a triple output supply. Being very happy with the operation and performance of the mentioned, I'd like to find one or two more. However, the online auction prices for the Thunderbolt GPSDO model I like have risen quite a bit. As what I thought might be a possible price and availability alternative, started evaluating the Nortel NTBW50AA GPSTM GPS Timing Module. The Nortel NTBW50AA GPSTM GPS Timing Module compared to the Thunderbolt seems to be a bit of an "energy hog". I don't yet have enough information to do a total comparison of other available GPSDO options. Would any of you be able to provide a quick relative comparison about relatively common (surplus) GPSDO and similar type/function units? their real world energy consumption? The Nortel NTBW50AA GPSTM is nice but I'm not sure we'd want to park one at a solar only location that didn't need what appears to be a mini space heater. Thank you in advance for your replies... regards, skipp025 at yahoo.com _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
