Re: [time-nuts] Lucent 40 dB Antenna
Hmmm nat hist. Makes for a good challenge.
I was successful in the Navy at hiding antennas on the ships mast and
barracks.
Suspect I could have had a bit more trouble as I think about it these days.

I believe I read in an earlier post that someone was using one of these
with a Tbolt, which is 5 volts to the antenna. Hope I'm not mistaken! I
didn't hear any rattles when I shook the unit so I'm keeping my fingers
crossed. They do appear to be pretty rugged so I'm hoping for the best. The
reply from the seller ignored my poor packing complaint and said "this is
used, it can not all are the same. our guaranteed is you can ask for refund
if it can not works." I assume they have a boatload of them bought very
cheaply and they are playing the odds that they will make more from
replacing a few that don't survive shipping than they would if they spent a
bit more on packing material for all shipments.
We live in a National Historic District so no outdoor antennas here. My
antennas are in the attic above the third floor, putting them about 40 ft
AGL. So far the shingled roof hasn't been a major obstacle and the GPS
antennas are above the HVAC ductwork. I'll see if there's any difference
between this antenna and the HP that's on the Z3816 now.

Has anyone compared this antenna with the mushroom that

Too bad there wasn't an amateur radio allocation at 902 MHz in the early
1970's - the troposcatter stations I serviced would have been awesome -
2x 10Kw into paired 60' dishes, but no az or el control!

For the dishes and HD antennas, I just found the FCC rules and gave them to the person that wanted to put up the antennas. Basically you cite chapter and verse and the HOA caves.
The TV stations and dish companies did all the federal lobby work, and federal law trumps everything.

The seller should be ashamed for selling something that beat up as working.

My Lucent antenna arrived today. I scrounged some adapters
and connected it to my Thunderbolt. Two birds were visible
with AMU > 4 when I held the antenna. My Droid 3 could not
see any birds through the wet roof.
The unit has some dings and scrapes but no visible corrosion.
I am tempted to take it apart but don't wish to break a unit
which seems to be working well.
Has anyone compared this antenna with the mushroom that
came from China with the used Thunderbolts???

Is everyone buying these because they have 40dB gain or because they are the only reasonably priced GPS timing antennas on eBay right now?
