2. interesting observation: turning the unit 90 degrees onto its right hand side immediately increases the output frequency by 10 mHz (reversible); turning the unit 90 degrees onto its left end immediately decreases the output frequency by 10 mHz (also reversible) This meant that the g-sensit

There might also be some confusion about which bg7tbl equipment is being discussed. Karl mentioned the GPSDO but from comments Andy has made I think he's evaluating a non-disciplined OCXO, like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132729183455 On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 11:29 PM Adrian Godwin wrote: > > > On

I owe a big apology to any interested in the BG7TBL 10 MHz OCXO sold on eBay: I reported some observations -- which were completely in error (due to equipment mishandling). Preliminary observations are (instead) -- 1. after a week powered up, precision (over half an hour) is less than +/- 1

Hi Time Nuts, If some of you are attending the IMS show in Boston this week, you are welcome to stop by at our exhibition booth #580 (AXTAL). It would be convenient if we can agree on a mutually acceptable time an date, so we could meet as a group. Please let me know. I will be happy to coordi

Hi A little about the “why” of all this …. Few of us have ideal antenna locations. Even what we consider to be “really good” is still quite a ways from ideal. A concrete tower 50’ above everything else with a clear view of the sky down to zero degrees in every direction is “ideal”. Due to it’

I think you may be missing the most likely primary contributor. Each GPS receiver (and, thus, each GPSDO) tracks a constantly-changing "constellation" of satellites. Each rx switches constellations as it sees fit, depending on reception conditions as it sees them, and no two receivers will tr
