[time-nuts] Shera PIC Firmware file

Hi guys,

The hex file is quite outdated.  In 2009 I contacted Brook Shera in 
order to get the source code as I wanted to build this controller and 
wanted to change the PIC to use a Flash one and add some improvements.   
His response was that he already had changed the microcontroler for a 
more modern unit, a PIC 16F876A, and included a lot of improvements.  He 
also informed me that he was not releasing the hex or source code 
anymore but he could sell me programmed PICs with the last version and 
some other components like the AD1861  at least while his supply last.  
He also supplied me the critical 74HC4046's and even the 24 MHz xtal 
oscillator.
I also ordered a board from A&A Engineering and now I have to find the 
time to build it.

So I recommend you contact with Mr Shera for the last versions of this 
software.  His email has changed since the mentioned QST article and in 
2009 was: ebs(AT)mailaps.org

Best regards,
Ignacio, EB4APL
