[time-nuts] Halcyon OFS

[paul swed]

Hello to the group. I suspect I will never see such a unit in the states.
Also it wouldn't be useful.
But that said its sounds as though its a traditional simple receiver that
should be able to be reverse engineered. At least for the signal and
locking chain. If a micro is involved then things get fuzzy fast. Anyhow
good luck with you digging in.
Regards
Paul
