Bob Fantastic to hear. You did the same thing I initially did and that was to use a fluke 6060 gen locked to a GPSDO. (Not really needed but thats the way I am set up.) Though I went further and created a good oscillator divide chain and real modulator. Per Bob s suggestion nothing more then a tris

It is indeed simple. I have no plan to do that conversion but maybe I will some day. The real trick was the timin
