I have a friend who speaks fluent German; send me an email of what you want
to say BUT you should know that when I need any language of text I use this
website: http://www.freetranslation.com/en/translate-english-german
They do most any language but this one is for English to German.

Joe
I am German living in the US. The site does ship to the US and once the
product is available middle June If necessary I will be glad to help.
How ever we have time nuts living in Germany and some probably have bought
from this site. They can log in and find out what then payment options
are.Most likely you will be able to place the order and pay for it and have
it shipped to you. Shipping will be E 5.90 from what I can tell. But it
will be clear once the product is available.
At the time if necessary I will be glad to get on the phone with you and
talk you through the process.

Hi Folks,
While not exactly nanosecond class, I thought at least some of you might be
interested in my latest experiments with writing a MSF and DCF decoder in
SDR (gnuradio in this case)
The gnuradio flowgraph is shown here:
http://hal.g7iii.net/GRC/Radio_Clocks/Multi_Radio_Clock_Receiver.png
(The GRC file itself is also there for those who wish to play with it in the
gnuradio companion, along with some prototypes)
This tunes to 250Hz off the carrier, and uses a Goertzel filter at 250Hz to
detect it. We then do a Complex to Mag^2 to effectively get rid of any
negative values, before a threshold block essentially converts the signal to
a square wave (via a moving average to help with interference and noise, as
well as general signal level changes throughout the day]
The eventual output is a 1 kHz stream of 1s and 0's, sent via UDP (You will
notice the significance of the port numbers selected
- 12360 and 12377 in the flowgraph :)].
A separate application (currently using nc and stdin/stdout) looks for the
Start of Minute marker, then grabs the rest of the second's data.
Once completed it decodes[1] it, and sends it on to NTP via the SHM driver.
This code is currently running on the same machine, but could be run on any
capable UDP host. I intend to try it on a beaglebone[2], and see what the
difference is.
Now, I was expecting some pretty awful jitter etc, but have been rather
surprised. Here are a few random ntpq outputs taken over a few hours
(nothing scientific):
ntpq> pe
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset
jitter
============================================================================

SHM(0) .MSF. 0 l 7 64 377 0.000 6.622

3.888
*cerberus.local 192.36.143.153 2 u 174 256 377 0.099 0.606
4.162
Both radio clocks were set to noselect. cerberus was serving as a reference,
and was talking to a cesium over the internet, but for this experiment was
more than sufficient.
The jitter and offset figures are far better than I had been expecting, and
more than sufficient for numbering the seconds and Time-Of-Day, before a PPS
source takes over (See [2]). They are also far better than I had been
getting from one of the available modules
For anyone wanting to try this, the hardware was simply my LF Antenna/Preamp
[which primarily does LORAN duty, but has a 4 way splitter on the end],
plugged into my 192k soundcard.
Those in UK/Europe may get by with a long wire (I haven't tried it yet - my
own has other duties right now), but I could audibly still detect MSF with
it when I did a quick check]
If HF ever recovers here, I shall have a go at detecting and decoding the
MIKES IRIG station in Finland on 25 MHz. I'm also trying to write a
flowgraph for RBU, but that it proving a challenge (it uses 100Hz and 312.5
Hz tones to indicate 0 and 1 in the time code, but even with SDR techniques
it's difficult to separate the two, not to mention it's far less powerful
and further away than both MSF and DCF from me.

[1] At present, this code is a lash up. It doesn't check for leap seconds,
will break come the 3rd weekend in October here in Europe, and doesn't check
Parity. That said, the decoding is so solid for me, that even when (usually
the DCF side) decodes things incorrectly it's so far out, NTP just laughs at
it. I'm lazy. The RF code was far more interesting to write than "is this
bit set, is that bit set ?" :)
[2] Said beaglebone currently has a PPS input from an Austron 2100 locked to
Anthorn, but needs an internet host to set the time-of-day

One of the ebay sellers had some PDF links, but also said it is the same
pinout as a Trimble Resolution T.
It seems to fit the same shape and header location... But be cautious...
If you get it working, please let us know. The information on these seems
pretty minimal... Like exactly what "binary" protocol are they talking
about?

Hi
One thing to be careful with when running VLF into NTP - make sure you work
out the propagation delay to your site and put it into the driver. As your
data shows, the jitter is low enough to make it worth doing.
We get so used to GPS (that corrects automatically) that we forget about
doing it for VLF. I have a couple of local VLF based NTP servers that have
issues because they don?t have the delay set right.
