I hope this is not too blatantly commercial for this list

Looks good to me.  Thanks.

Are the specs for extracting timing from Iridium available without NDA or $$$?

Page 6 shows several hardware boards/boxes.  The NooElec NESDR Mini 2 USB Stick seems like the only one that is both low cost and available.  Is any (free) software available?  I assume it would work with similar USB based RF front ends.

Stewart,
Thank you for sharing this information. I had heard of the testing but
little detail and like all time-nuts curious.
I have the same question as Hal, whats available. I am spoiled by some of
the amazing freeware today that allows a time-nut to obtain some great
technology at a reasonable price.
But that said when I looked at the timing graphs, the performance did not
appear that great. Not throwing stones here as I simply maybe
misunderstanding what I am seeing.
Thanks again.
Regards
Paul
