[time-nuts] Austron GPS antennas

Hi Paul,
I am looking into using one of my SuperStar GPS receivers for this.  I'll  
just tap into the circuit at the 35.42 MHz filter.  I just need to build up  
an amplifier for some addional level contol plus providing isolation for the  
SuperStar.  I am going to use the 10 MHz TCXO that's on the receiver to  
start, then if that much works OK I'll use the 10 MHz signal from the  
Odetics unit.  I'll keep you informed on my progress.  73, Doug, K4cle.
