[App_rpt-users] What is a PGCM

[Jim Duuuude]

For sure its not on the website. There just has been WAAAYYY too many things to do and take care of for
preparation for the Dayton trip, and there now is WAAAAYYY too many things to take care of that were waiting
for us to get back from Dayton. 

If you want one, send email to Mark (micro-node). He will be happy to sell you one.

    Very cool.  Just what I am looking for...although it doesn't look
    like the PCGM has made it on the web site for sale yet...at least I
    couldn't fine it.

        The PCGM (Programmable Clock Generator Module) is a device used
        for some configurations

        of simulcast with the RTCM. For transmitters that can "swallow"
        a 10 MHz external reference clock source

        (such as the Motorola Quantar, etc), all you need is the output
        of the RTCM driving the direct 

        modulation of the transmitter. For radios that do not have an
        external reference clock source

        (or have one, but not at 10MHz), the PCGM will take the 10Mhz
        reference from the GPSDO (generally

        a Trimble Thunderbolt) and "make" whatever frequency your
        transmitter needs for a reference

        (at least one of 17988 frequencies possible). Transmitters that
        do not have an external reference

        clock input at all generally need to be modified to disconnect
        the normal internal reference oscillator

        and make provisions to allow injection of the reference clock
        frequency from the PCGM. 

        

        In addition the PCGM also generates the voltages (3 of them, I
        believe) to run the Trimble

        Thunderbolt, with a single (generally 12 volt) input to the
        PCGM.

        

        These devices are available for sale from the Micro-Node.Com
        site.

        

        There was also a question on the list about the ClockSynth
        project. This was merely an initial prototype

        to prove the base design of the PCGM. There were only 2 boards
        of this type built. They worked and

        demonstrated the validity of the general concept from which the
        PCGM was then based.

                  Had a friend who went to Dayton and he saw the
                    Micro Node people with a unit called a PGCM....what
                    is it and what can it do???
