[time-nuts] Z3801 Update with VP-Oncore 8Ch receiver

[Frederick Bray]

This brings up a question that I have been wondering about.  Has anyone 
tried using one of the Synergy M12/adaptor board assemblies as an update 
in the Z3801 or similar unit?  If the original firmware just ignores the 
extra data, perhaps the Synergy unit might work? They are quite 
inexpensive on the used market.

See:

As a further upgrade, might it be possible to replace the M12 receiver 
unit on the Synergy board with a Jackson Labs M12M replacement 
receiver?  While the additional data would be lost / ignored, the 
superior characteristics of the Jackson Labs unit could prove helpful.

Thanks for any information.
