[time-nuts] GPS Antenna Splitters Symmetricom 58535A Available

[Mike Feher]

This discussion prompted me to remind list members that I still have some of
the subject smart GPS splitters available. These are brand new in original
wrapping. The pricing is:

1 58535A  $35 plus $ 4.95 priority flat rate shipping
2 58535A  $65 plus $ 4.95 priority flat rate shipping
4 58535A $120 plus $10.70 priority flat rate shipping

I am not certain, but, it is possible that USPS flat rate priority may go up
in 2011. BTW, flat rate is not that much more to other countries, and, I do
not mind filing out the customs forms.

Best to all in 2011. Regards - Mike

Subject: [time-nuts] GPS Antenna

A few questions about GPS antenna....


1) I read the Thunderbolt user manual and did not find any meaningful
spec on the antenna except that it is amplified and uses DC power in
the coax.  What signal level is the Thunderbolt expecting?   oes it
want a 24dB antenna or more or much less?

2) I want to feed two GPS units with one roof mounted antenna.  I
figure that splitters are just a transformers and will not pass DC to
power the antenna.  There must be an easy way around this.

3) Do people really run coax straight from a GPS antenna into their
house with no protection from lightening?  Maybe a GPS antenna is a
small target compared to a 100 foot wire antenna in Florida
