[time-nuts] New NTBW50AA

[quartz55]

OK, I got the thing started up, the com port seems to work with LH.  Of course it says bad position.  I've got a screen shot of the startup, after about 15 minutes the green LED went on, indicating lock, but after about a half hour, it went out and the red light went on indicating a fault according to the book I have.  I turned it off after doing a screen shot.  I'll post them later.

I guess I need to figure out how to do a reset?

According to the book, it should acquire the new position auto within 1 hour, but not sure about that.  I got a good stiff 30VDC supply feeding it and the ripple is well under 100mV at the input to the connector.

I found out don't stop the unit without exiting LH or it locks up the computer.

The Nuvi GPS gizmo I have gets the signals inside my shack, so I guess it may be good outside in the clear above the roof.  However, it may be hard to get the antenna out from under the trees.

I'm going to Paris (VA) to see Sylvie and have a martini.  I'll be back in a few hours.
