[time-nuts] LTE Lite installation comments

[paul swed]

Want to thank everyone for the various comments and insights of the LTE,
filters, buffers etc.
My unit is built up including dividers and distribution amps and simply
need to drill a few holes in the front panel for on/off switch and a few
status lamps some 16 BNC's.

I want to thank both Bob and Charles for the comments on using 74HC or AS
as line drivers with LPF filters. A pair of inverters per coax or 3 lines
per 74HC14. Simple and effective for the 10' of coax on the bench
distribution. I calculated Low Pass Filters for 10, 5, 1, and .1 Mhz. The
older VLF radios use .1 Mhz as a reference. Certainly I can not speak to
some of the detailed comments mentioned on Time-Nuts as to jitter etc. But
I can say on a spectrum analyzer the outputs look very good. I used Saids
inverters for the 1 PPS. I was considering RS 232 and RS 422 and may add
those but less of a priority. It seems I always have coax around so this is
a pretty nice way to get PPS to a project.

So from discussions to real in a few days.

Damn technology.
I was beginning to believe the old basement Telco RB that drives my stuff
was starting to fail. Darned if this project didn't prove it. I could see
the RB jitter and occasionally loose lock. OK another project on the list.
