[time-nuts] Subject: Rapco 3804A Time Code Generator

Fellow Time -Nuts
I have obtained a Rapco 3804 time Code Generator , all in a 1U housing, which was in basic working order, except it had a Lassen SK2 GPS Rx which was suffering from the ‘roll-over’ problem, otherwise working. I obtained a direct replacement for the GPS Rx unit from the Heol Design company in France,  which works perfectly . The Rapco unit also has  a small Rubidium Standard ( Swiss manufacture), which frequently reports  'a fault’ , this I guess is a failing lamp. I have noticed that our good friend Magnus seems to be conversant with these Swiss rubidium units, and I wonder if he could offer any advice , as to correcting this problem. The unit has a good and comprehensive display (when you have ‘discovered’ the button pushing sequence !) .  This brings me to ask if anybody has a manual, or any data on this unit, as I have not been able to find anything to date . Thank you for any help
