[time-nuts] Re: Looking For An Antenna

[kyrrin at bluefeathertech.com]

 Â Â Â  I used to own/use a 468-DC. They are, unfortunately, useless now 
because NOAA stopped transmitting the UHF-based time code over the GOES 
satellites in the early 2000's (this is, very likely, why it was so cheap).

 Â Â Â  In short ... Even if you got a perfect antenna for the unit, 
there's nothing for it to receive. I believe you'd be wasting your time 
and money (unless you want to get -really- adventurous and try adapting 
its innards to sync off GPS).

 Â Â Â  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
