[time-nuts] NavSymm - Ericsson GPS Timing Receiver

[paul swed]

Very nice indeed with the opto isolation. I think Stans idea is reasonable.
Since you have no information its worth looking under the hood as they say.
See whats inside as a possible GPS engine. I suspect the optos are bolted
on and you may have access to at least cmos or ttl data signals to work
with.
Save the optos. If you get it working thats a fine way to keep things safe
and I think those are standard LCC sockets. Kind of hard to tell. If true
the cables cheap on the surplus market.
Regards
Paul.
