[Thumbgps-devel] the serial alternative/radio noise

[Ron Frazier (NTP)]

I expect to have a Sure Electronics GPS board shortly.  Assuming I can 
solder it without killing it, I will be adding PPS to the DCD pin 
according to these instructions.

Before I even do that, I'm going to test it with the serial output going 
into a Prolific based serial - USB converter.  I want to see if it 
exhibits the "drifting" behavior that I've been seeing on my Globalsat 
BU-353.  Once that's done, I hope to add PPS.  I've been told by David 
Taylor that I should be able to get 400 us offsets through the serial - 
USB converter with PPS but haven't had a chance to test anything yet.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, don't be concerned.
I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and
such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.  If you need a
reply and have not heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
