[time-nuts] Re: Trimble NetRS operation hints

[Bob Camp]

Hi

The “weak link” in the NetRS is the flash memory card. Best to make a copy of it while
it’s still working. It may be fine for a very long time. It could fail tomorrow. 

Config wise, there’s not a lot to the beast. You turn things on and tell it what you want 
to do. Pull log files, translate them and send them off to NRCan for processing. 

One “interesting” thing I’ve just started noticing: My NetRS collection has started having 
dropout periods at certain times of the day. Other GPS receivers on the same antennas
do fine. All of the NetRS boxes go out together and come back together. No idea of
exactly why ….. (but I do have some suspicions …).

Are there any caveats to consider for long-term operation of the receiver? Do you have any configuration recommendations to achieve the best results (apart from ensuring a clear sky view)?
