Re: GPS Clock
Good idea! A user could specify, say 3 satellites, with orbital elements. Without internet access, ?there is no way to change these elements as orbits are corrected though, unless one edits them an

Re: GPS Clock
Another possible feature would be satellite rise and set times if there is room in the mcu for the tables.

Re: 10 MHz Rubidium OCXO frequency standard information
Hi Halden, I use the AR-60A for the Tektronix DC503-A frequency counter (instead of its 10 MHz oscillator) and use the Datum LPRO-101 for the R&S SME03 RF generator. -- Cheers Attilio

Re: 10 MHz Rubidium OCXO frequency standard information
Hi Attilio, That looks consistent with my understanding.? The temperature has to be managed to prevent the unit from damaging itself with its heat.? I wish I had a manual for mine, but that's what I

Re: 10 MHz Rubidium OCXO frequency standard information
Hi Halden, If it can help, here is what the Datum LPRO-101 manual reports about the heatsink: "A heat sink or mounting base plate is required to keep the baseplate temperature under 70¡ãC. Internal

Re: 10 MHz Rubidium OCXO frequency standard information
Hi Halden, it is also my concern. I probably misunderstood what is written on the manual of the Datum LPRO-101, I have to reread it. -- Cheers Attilio

Re: 10 MHz Rubidium OCXO frequency standard information
Hi Attilio, If I understand correctly, rubidium oscillators aren't sensitive to changes in ambient temperature, and that's why they're so useful.? My concern is components failing due to getting too

Re: 10 MHz Rubidium OCXO frequency standard information
Hi Halden, thanks for the information, I read in my Datum LPRO-101 manual that a 2 ¡ã C / W heatsink should be placed on its bottom plate. If I understand correctly it should serve to stabilize the

10 MHz Rubidium OCXO frequency standard information
Hello to all, I bought used an AR-60A (AccuBeat) and a Datum LPRO (I think it's from Efratom) and they both work. I have no experience with these Rubidium frequency standards and would like

Re: Specan log detector and power regulators
Thanks Erik, I'll stick with keeping the AD8307 on its own shielded daughterboard. I have some feedthrough capacitors so I may use some of them to keep as much noise out of the detector. 73 de Ellis
