Hi Gang!!
I need to pay more bills, so the GPS receiver has to go (doctors!).
This is a Z3801 GPS receiver that is basically plug and play. For those
that don't
know what this is for. Here's a quick tutorial. This receiver can be used
to provide
accurate time signals to a computer network system, or single machine. If
you want a REALLY
accurate UTC clock, this will do it. It gets its info from the GPS system
and can be set to your time
zones so its always accurate.
In addition, it provides 10 MHz that is referenced to the GPS system
which gives you stability
and accuracy that is VERY close to a rubidium standard. I believe the
actual spec is 10 to the minus 9th
or 10 to the minus 10th. It makes a great outboard freq standard for your
test gear, and they are being used as a
high stability reference for SHF work in the 10 GHz range.
This particular receiver is mounted in a 19" rack adapter, and I've
installed the power supply needed to run it.
This receiver runs on 24 VDC (actual range on the input of the receiver is
19 to 30 VDC). I've installed the
RS-232 header connectors and jumpers on the main receiver board and built
the cable to get it to your computer.
I have a copy of BD systems software to use on your computer so you can
program and see the output of the receiver
on your computer, and I have the actual HP GPS antenna that was supplied
for the receiver. The antenna model number is
HP 589532A package. That includes the antenna, cover, mast adapter and all
the docs new in the box.
I know this one works, as I have been using it. The switching power supply
is good for 6.5 amps and the receiver only
draws 1.5 so you could run some other stuff off of it and there is room in
the cabinet to put some other stuff. You will need to make
a set of rack adapter brackets for the cab as they aren't there. $475.00
for the whole shooting match and I'll work something
out on the shipping. It's not heavy, just big. If you've been looking for
one of these, you know that they sell for $300 plus
and nobody knows if they're working, 'cause they never have a PS. You
don't have to guess on this box. First guy
here with the bucks gets the box.
Thanks!!
