[time-nuts] Thunderbolt question

Thanks for the picture. I have a TBolt also and its working just fine at
the moment.
But one day it may not. As several people have mentioned lightnings an
issue.

So going down the crazy thought path for a moment.
It appears from your pix you can figure out what the GPS receiver chip set
is.
The thought would be understand the chip set.
Locate the TX RX and 1pps and plug another receiver in.
Yes its a kluge and maybe a separate board level GPS receiver can not be
found...
But at least an approach.

One other comment. If it is lightning then just maybe its the preamp chip.
They are typically 3 pin soics and replaceable.
Regards
Paul
