> What are the markings of the devices close to the BNC connector? Just a guess based on some previous comments from Bob, you are probably looking for a logic gate, probably with an LC filter on the output. Could also be some kind of MMIC device, but gate with a filter seems like a good

Without any adequate documentation, I decided to probe around the board. I noticed a spot that looks like it takes a PC mount SMA. Looking at the center pin, it looks like the output of the TCXO. I plan to run a small coax from that to the BNC output connector. Perhaps it will make this thing
