[time-nuts] VP for HP58503A

[Brian Kirby]

I put a 8 channel Oncore VP in a Z3801A.  I had to tell the receiver to 
be a 6 channel unit for it to work properly.  The 8 channel unit 
appeared to be a slight bit more receive sensitive .  I also noted that 
compared to the older 6 channel receiver, the 8 channel unit worked when 
the older unit lost lock due to some geometry problems in the spring and 
the fall.

I do not know the differences in the 58503 and the Z3801A, but we know 
the PC board in the Z3801A is labeled 58503.
