Hi Uwe, Wolf,
maybe the tomcat only tried to eat the
mouse, as cat's sometimes do. But there is another eerie
possibility: he may have
upset it intentionally. After letting Uwe just key the
transmitter on and off for him for a few weeks, he now found out
that he could frequency modulate it by tampering with the GPS, sending
out his secret messages much more efficiently. Uwe, you are nothing more
than his slave ;-)
> the antenna current is unknown. I lost up to
now three instruments by trying. they changed to coal.
By now you must
have a decent ampmeter graveyard on your premises ;-) But why not
insert the meter at the low voltage side of the loading coil, or in the ground
lead?
Hope to see you on again tonight!
73, Markus

Hi Uwe,
umm.. "PPS zero-crossing too
flat" was mumbo-jumbo from the software debugging phase.
The reason may just
be as simple as "there was no pulse-per-second sync signal from the GPS" at
all.
I have similar trouble here every now and then, because the GPS
receiver ('mouse' by Garmin) is sitting on a window ledge;
and even though I
don't have a cat, I can imagine what has happened in your case
;-)
Cheers,
Wolf .
