[time-nuts] Re: NovaTech Kronos Satellite Clock K2R

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Going over to the NovaTech site, I see a 2R:

But I can’t find a K2R. That may just be my poor internet skills. 

Assuming we are talking about a 2R, it’s an interesting device. It will give you a “canned” NTP server in addition to a cool looking clock and a pps output. There are a bunch of expansion card slots on it. They appear add various things to the mix. From a quick look, it’s not clear any of those add on’s are a “must have” sort of thing. 

Like all similar boxes, you will need an outdoor antenna. If I was buying one, I’d want to dig a bit into the firmware update process. You don’t want an “orphan” device that only gets up dates once a decade ….
