I would be happy to say a T'Bolt replacement for $250 even $300. I know $100 was a great price but think about it. If the T'bolt has not existed and you had to pay $250 or $300 would you have to get the same results ? I would have, I may not have 1 running and two spares, but I would have spent th

Hi The 10 KHz that these modules put out is not very “clean” in terms of driving a synthesizer. If you are looking at taking it straight to RF (as in driving a VHF radio), you likely will be less than happy with the result. Bob On Feb 8, 2014, at 8:02 AM, Alex Pummer wrote: > Thank you very

Perry, you don't need 10kHz to build a GPS disciplined oscillator. GPSDOs are build with control loop response times in the range of some hours, so the loop will be absolutely happy with a 1PPS input. To keep the frequency stable at short times, you need a very stable quartz oscillator instead, s
