Paride The LEA-5T differs from other devices only that it has saw tooth information that can be used for correction or in a loop' I did a board and have one with variable delay using the 5T. Looking at the picture I do not even see an output for that information. Any later standard $10 module will be as good or better because he mentions 15 ns. What do you need and please also look at what GPS is able to do without ionospheric correction Bert In a message dated 1/22/2018 11:07:52 AM Eastern Standard Time, time-nuts@febo.com writes:
Dear fellow nuts, I plan to build a decent GPS/GNSS-based Stratum 1 NTP server, and I'm looking for a good and possibly affordable timing GPS receiver. As far as I can tell there are a few common options. One is the Trimble Resolution T (or SMT), that should be good and proven. The major annoyance is converting the 3.3V TTL serial logic-level to RS232, but should be doable with a MAX3232 and a few capacitors. Another option is this UBLOX LEA-5T: https://www.ebay.it/itm/291769145465 The seller advertises an RS232 output pin, but I'm not sure it's actually available, and I'd need at least lines, one for the NMEA strings and one for the 1PPS signal. So, even if a RS232 TX pin is actually there, it is probably not enough to build a good reference clock, and I'd still need to convert some TTL levels to RS232... Does anybody have experience with this receiver? How does it compare to the Resolution T/SMT? Another option is the Trimble Thunderbolt. This seems to do exactly what I need, but it costs at least ten times more than the other modules. Beside coming with a ready to use RS232 port and a nice case, does it have other advantages? Am I overlooking something or missing interesting options?
