Hello to all,
I connected the unit to a 11m of H-155 cable(assumed 4.79dB loss "worst
case" at 1.5GHz), thrown the GPS antenna on the balcony horizontally and
this is what I got:

Seems to work (? I understand this from GPS phase and FFOM 0, not sure
about the hold position status) I have somewhat stable 10MHz output,
tomorrow I will use a mast for the antenna to get it higher slightly
above the roof, (vertically this time!).
- I got the software from the seller but complains about some ancient
OCX stuff don't want to mess with ActiveX anymore, hopefully Lady Heater
will support it soon.
- Given the attenuation (less than 5 dB) do I really need to change the
cable for something better?
Leds are Yellow Activity solid, red unnamed blinking fast, Red 1PPS
blinks once a second and DC green is solid.
Anything else special to check?

PS: the other clock (qrp-labs) is way behind schedule, but hopefully
will arrive soon
