[time-nuts] New M12+ and M12M compatible GPS module

[Ron Frazier (NTP)]

Hi all,

I thought I'd post this since it's related to the same company.  Chris 
Albertson posted this on the NTP Questions list recently in response to 
one of my queries.

If you are looking for a brand new timing GPS and don't like buying on 
eBay, I think the best deal is going to be The M12M because Synergy has 
offered to sell to people on these email lists at a discounted price of 
just below $60.  If you had to pay list price for a new production 
timing unit you'd pay 10X that much.    I don't mind buying older units 
on eBay but I can understand if sue one wanted technical support and a 
warranty and current 2012 state of the art, you don't get any of that on 
eBay.

Here is a link Synergy M12M

You will have to talk directly to them about buying it and ask for the 
reduced price.    I have two of a 15 year old version of this.  I looks 
almost the same.  they have the same 10 pin male header except now they 
use 0.05 inch sping rather then 0.1

The SSR-6tr includes Motorola binary protocol as well as u-blox binary and NMEA protocols.

Technical details, samples and production information will be posted shortly on Synergy's' web site (www.synergy-gps.com). Prices of this better performing, backward compatible SSR-6Tr GPS timing receiver are expected to be as listed for the current Motorola designed M12M timing receiver distributed by Synergy. Synergy's normal 10% educational discount applies to non-commercial educational pursuits including Ham Radio.

I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and
such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.  If you need a
reply and have not heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
