[time-nuts] Truetime Time server NTS-100 Downconverter infowanted

[Rob Kimberley]

Don,

Try Googling around to see if you can find the spec for the downconverter.
We recently managed to get an old Odetics 325 working with a Meinberg
antenna/converter unit. Have emailed you the Meinberg manual off list.

Was not a "downconverter" used with the old GOES (L-band) Truetime satellite

Just a thought.
