[time-nuts] EOL Motorola Oncore Remote Antenna

[Art Sepin]

Hello Poul,

You are the lucky owner of a Synergy GSynQ smart antenna product manufactured from the late nineties to the early two-thousands when it was replaced with a Synergy Super-Rugged Antenna (SRA). The GSynQ product was produced by lifting the hood of the Motorola Timing2000 GPS antenna, and inserting an interface board with a Motorola  M12+ (and later iLotus M12M) plugged into it.

>From your photo, I can't tell if it is an RS-232 or RS-422 version - please advise.

It's obvious from the photo that the O-Ring seal failed its purpose over its many years of service. Has the unit totally failed or does the electronic portion still function?

I said lucky because I found some GSynQ parts here in an engineering storage cabinet that we can send to you at no charge to revive your unit. Please let us know what Motorola binary commands you are using off list. If they match what the Synergy SSR-6Tf produces (M12+/M12M compatible) we'll include one of those in the refurbish kit also at no charge if you will pay the freight/customs charges from San Diego, CA.

The first Motorola Oncore Remote antenna I bought has failed after some
20 years of continuous service in Danish climate:

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
