Hi Pete,

I snapped on the osci probe and see no 1 PPS or 2 PPS signal.
It seems like a noise signal with several positive and negative spikes with an 
peak to peak value of 50 to 60 mV...

disapointing...

Next is to analyze the rest with a logicprobe but the signal level seems to be
too small for beeing a logic signal...

TTL should be at 15 V, CMOS 5 V... but 50 mV ?
