Re: [time-nuts] Lucent RFTG-u REF-0 Standalone (Dan Watson)

Dan Watson (New Zealand) appears to have abandoned this Lucent KS-2436 Ref-0 GPSDO project (standalone operation).

Earlier this week, I noted Lucent KS-2436 units being sold on the TradeMe web site (New Zealand). Listing: 1356761279 and 1356761447
http://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photography/other-electronics/other/auction-1356761279.htm
"I'm selling this gear (Lucent) as I don't have the time to complete this project.
I bought everything included brand new, but I can't provide any warranty."
--amc184 (seller)

My June 6, 2017 query/update.

Starting in August 2015, Dan Watson (Sync Channel Blog) started a project to develop a GPS board to "plug into" the Lucent KS-24361, RTFG-u REF-0 for standalone operation (without the REF-1 module)
http://syncchannel.blogspot.com/2015/08/standalone-operation-of-lucent-ks-24361.html

By October, he had a GPS board (Tria) that converted uBlox timing receiver output to the format desired by Lucent box (Motorola Oncore UT).
http://syncchannel.blogspot.com/2015/10/tria-gps-success-in-ref-0.html
His last post in November 2015 was about dongles for the REF-0.
http://syncchannel.blogspot.com/2015/11/denuo-gps-hits-rev-b-dongles.html

In 2016 he posted his later development work on OSHPark, but stopped Blog posting about a year ago.  Anyone have an update?  He has commented in past that he is easily distracted.

I think this was the same person that developed the arduino ref 0
standalone controller that was shared with time nuts. Essentially it faked
the ref 0 out and you could use any external GPS receiver tick to drive the
unit.
I tested numbers of arduinos. They all worked.

But your right he then moved on to building a internal GPS receiver and
though he built boards they were never completed or offered as I recall.
