[time-nuts] TymServe 2100 and the 1995 GPS issue

[Gerhard Wittreich]

I just received the Heol Design N024 Trimble ACE III clone to resolve the
week rollover problem we have been experiencing in the TS-2100's with the
original Trimble ACE III gps units.  Installation was very straight forward
taking about 5 minutes.  On a cold restart I had "Tracking" within 40
seconds with the correct date and time (Leap second issue also resolved)
and "Locked" with my new OCXO in ~20 minutes.  Once locked I did notice
something interesting but maybe not important.  The control voltage to the
oscillator (timing > util > tfp 0) went from a very consistent 0xba6f to a
0xbb02.  That's about 0.2% of scale.  I'll watch it over the next few days
to see where it settles in.
