ement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] FTS 1050A What to do?? Any chance you can trim the frequency to 6 Mhz with the thumb wheels ? (Probably not but I'd be inclined to try.) If you can get 6Mhz then dividing down to 1 Mhz should be easy. On a side note I've been very pleased with the FTS 1050 I

Paul, That is nice oscillator and as you noted semi-useless. So with that in mind you could multiply by 6 and get to 36 Mhz. Use that as a clock for a DDS to divide to something usable at 5 MC granted some jitter but might be quite good. Ok now that's really not exciting but then again. You were j
