As a casual observer of this thread - does the oscillator have to be precisely 10 mhz to a zillion decimal places OR does it just need to be close to 10 mhz and verrrrrryyyyy stable ?
Years ago hams used to build 10 mhz xtal oscillators/buffers - put them in a thermos bottle - dig a post hole and bury the thing about 4 feet deep - it was pretty stable just xtal aging and needed lo noise stable DC.

You can look for a GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO), an FE-5680 Rubidium based oscillator, or look for some of the lesser expensive GPS receiver modules that have 10MHz outputs. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
