[GPS_Standard] Power Supply questions

[Chris Howard w0ep]

After two years, I finally focused on getting this
GPS standard working.  I have had all the parts
for the past few months, but just didn't get
around to putting it all together until yesterday

I'm using the oscillator from a defunct HP counter,
a Resolution-T GPS, built into a  2-U chassis which I picked
up at a university's junk sale awhile back.

The chassis was from some sort of heater controller from
Kodak. It included a digital volt meter on the front panel
which I have incorporated to watch the DAC voltage.

I used power supply parts from the HP counter
and the Kodak controller.  I am using a separate +/-5v
supply from the Kodak unit instead of using
the +5v derived onboard.

It has been plugged in and running for 800 16-second
samples and DAC voltage is slowly moving upward.
No lock yet.

I have a switchable RS-232 port that allows me to
connect to either the GPS or the controller card.

Still needed:  better GPS antenna connection (need
to buy a crimper), better GPS antenna, bring bi-color
LED to the front panel, and buy or make some 50 ohm
BNC terminators for the unused ports.
