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

[Art Sepin]

Greg,

Progress on designing M12x clones, like Dan's board, are really impressive. More models will give users a wider choice from which to choose a replacement. On that note, Synergy will also be rolling out an SSR-M8F Multi-GNSS timing board (uses LEA-8MF Module) that's also plug-compatible with the 40 mm x 60 mm M12x footprint.

Also, contrary to rumors that have circulated, the M12M Timing receivers are still very popular and shipping daily. No EOL has been announced. There are, however, obvious advantages in employing u-Blox based timing devices for faster TTFF and greater sensitivity for users seeking those features.

Art -

Good to hear about a uBlox SSR-6 based board.  
A number of products (GPSDO, time servers, etc.) used that Motorola board set.

I was following Dan Watson's work on building a substitute late last year ... 
a modern Oncore VP replacement / interpreter using the new u-blox chipsets.
