Trimble Thunderbolt - Cheating? Aging product? Total lack of technical support
cdev:
How long should they fix things like that?
If its easy I think they should for at least 20 years. Or make the software modular or user-configurable.

The Thunderbolt design is pretty close to 20 years old...

@max-bit i'm quite sure you can get the tbolt sold to a user here , for a decent price. If you don't want it anymore.
I have 3 tbolt's , and i got them for 10MHz & 1PPS outputs.
The Week Rollover doesn't affect the frequency outputs , just the date sent.
I'm using Lady Heather, to dicipline my tbolt's , and "TP, the author" ;) even made it automatically detect the rollover. AND show the "corrected date".
See the yellow "ro" after the date , indicating it's rollover corrected.
I'm using the linux version, that runs native X.

I wonder what happens at the next leap second though ... Well see.
And i'm quite sure that it will still output a nice 1PPS & 10Mhz , maybe with a glich around the leap
metrologist:
I see my Lassen LP's are in the list, but to call for replacements. :phew:
Maybe for the original application (TBolts) it does not matter?
max-bit:
No replacements only buy new :) full price maybe ...
