I will soon post instructions on how to make the modification yourself, but I have found it is easier to make them with new transistors rather than trying to...

Dave, ok, i'll wait for its return. the video issue doesn't seem consistant with this problem, but the RS232 OR 1PPS ABSENT does. i have noticed the gain...
i have had the same problem with a small cheap video monitor i was using for testing. it is broken now and i haven't had the problem on the 26" sony that i...
Vince, I only have the one kit version. When I had the 1PPS Absent messages, we determined it was due to the program on the GPS being corrupted. I reset the...

Tony, i am not sure what you mean by "registers". do you mean the even/odd millisecond time fields? how are you "seeing" that it is stuck? during realtime play...
i have posted two documents related to the recall of the OSD. the first describes how to update the firmware on your GPS, so that is not really related, but...
i forgot to add... if you find any confusing wordage in either document, please email me and let me know. i'll make the necessary changes and repost them. they...
Hi Vince, Yes, one of the millisecond time fields is stuck on 325. The other progresses normally at 0.0334 seconds per frame or 0.01667 per field. Yes, I...
