[time-nuts] Thunderbolt reception problems

[SAIDJACK at aol.com]

Hi Nigel, et. al.,
 
I just changed the setting to C/No with the help of the instructions posted 
 here; learned yet something else.
 
With that I now get between 30 and 36dBc/Hz C/No (at night, which  usually 
results in higher values than during daylight).
 
I am impatient, and expect my equipment to be plug-and-play, this is what  
cause my frustration and surprise in the first place, since I did not have  
a problem with this antenna feed in the past.
 
Due to the lack of a "lock" LED, and these issues, I guess I will have to  
dedicate an RS-232 to constantly monitor the unit, and be content with it's  
performance when connected to the splitter.
 
That's better than drilling another hole into the wall and mounting another 
 antenna on the roof.
 
Thanks for everyone's help,
bye,
Said

Just out  of interest, what levels of AMU are you seeing reported?

According to  Trimble's Thunderbolt Monitor version 2.6 the six satellites  
I'm  tracking right now are showing AMU values of over 40 and another stops 
  
tracking when its AMU drops to approx 33 but starts tracking again  at  a 
reported AMU of approx 36 to  37.
