Leo Bodnar Units rock! I have been using them non-stop and they are everything I could ever want (except maybe a little more flexibility on choosing the 2nd freq.
The case on the newest bg7tbl GPSDO is IMHO, very nice looking. Solid.
I also am curious what manufacturer's oven is in there. Or maybe he is making his own? Seems like it would make sense for him at this point.
Hi Merv,
Your lady heather configuration should not show an ip address when you are connected via a COM port.
When the program is active type ? and you will see all of the startup commands available (a lot of them!), you can change the COM port by simply typing /4 in your case, that should clear things up.
Hello,
New GPSDO 10 Mhz made in BG7TBL :
I bought this GPSDO 10 Mhz in aluminum box via EBay (or aliexpress) for +/- 98$ and I am very satisfied.
It can provide a square or sinusoidal wave by moving a component on the output.
Pins 14-15-16 Neo7 are open, but they can be arranged to vary the baud rate.
Edit : After verification, this new GPSDO - PLL bought $98 contains an OCXO, not a VCXO.
The metal case Ocxo becomes very hot after a few minutes of operation.
The deal is excellent !!

Well, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating", but so very few of us have the equipment to do anything even remotely approaching testing of these devices.
To test them you need both a reference that is verifiably better than them, and a universal counter or similar, also of verifiable accuracy, locked to it!
Still a few views on the last generation of the BG7TBL GPSDO.
Everything is fine also connect to PC with RS 232 cable. U-Center and Lady heaters work easily with this device and the NMEA data is displayed in the software.
best regards

UCenter can command the internal GPS!?
What does it enumerate as, what kind of ublox GPS chip is in there?
There is a banner when it first starts up, would you be able to capture it and paste it here?Still a few views on the last generation of the BG7TBL GPSDO.

Hello.
No. I wrote U-Center can display the NMEA data. The U-blox neo 7m could not be controlled at the moment.
Another problem I have noticed yet.
On my two notebooks (with docking station) The GPSDO is misinterpreted as any pointing device.
The cursor jumps over the display and menus are activated indiscriminately.
Currently, the set up only works on my old Core2Duo tower.

Any device that sends data to a Windows machine over a serial port can be misinterpreted as a serial mouse. There are various ways to fix that, but they often don't work very well. The best way to handle it is to disable the fake mouse in Device Manager.
