[time-nuts] TrueTime AL-AK GPS receiver help

[Bill Hawkins]

Very interesting that the signal is down-converted to 4.092 MHz to match
the ancient XL-AK receiver.

They are intended to be sold as pairs, but it may be possible to get
only the down converter. The source of the 16 MHz LO seems to be on the
down side, which is OK, A separate power cable is required. So is some
discussion of the application with the manufacturer.

I am not so sure that it is applying to that case, but there are GPS
antenna cable  extenders which converting down the incoming GPS signal
to frequencies at which the cable attenuation see here:
