There is a typo in my first post.
TP13 as well as one pulse every 2 second output are negative logic. Manual does not mention polarity of 2sPP.
On this page: Nortel GPSTM - i3Detroit if I'm reading the circuit diagram correctly (really a construction diagram), he seems to be inverting it once, then feeding it to parallel of another inverters. If I do this, I get negative 1pps. I cannot make heads or tails out of scope screen shot as I have no idea (I can only guess) which trace represents what output. But green line is showing negative logic.

I was fortunate enough to buy Nortel GPSTM at very good prices. This is a distant cousin of Thunderbird as far as I know. However, it being CDMA clock source, it's second pulse output is actually once every 2 seconds. According to various Internet sources, TP13 on board is 1 PPS.
I measured TP13 and it actually IS 1 PPS. However, this test point is giving negative logic. Normally +5V and it goes to 0V every 2 seconds.
Manual does not say anything about this being PP2S (with a bar on top).
Has anyone noticed this or am I doing something wrong????
I cascaded two inverters (74AC04) and have used two gates to provide boost to obtain normally 0V and goes to 5V every 1 second. It works but I am baffled. Can anyone tell me what I am seeing is actually the way it is?
