[time-nuts] Z3805 hold-Over

[Doug Parker]

Hi John,
 
Thanks for the observation, with the same antenna plugged into my Z3801, I get an SS of at least 90.
 
I'll place a preamp in line to see if that increases the SS on the 3805 , maybe my problem is the GPS RX isn't well. Great point.
 
Of course,  I'll watch out for the 5V power feed going up the coax for the preamp in the antenna.

Your 21 ns for 1PPS and T1 does not look too bad, but the satellite received signal strengths are too low. You should have at least four or five SS values above 60-80. I always have at least three SS readings above 100. My Holdover runs between 03 and 4 microseconds.
