Rich, stand by. I've been doing a *lot* of testing with higher-speed pulserates on the u-blox F9T/M8T/M9N (as high as 20+ MHz) and will be ready to report some results in a week or two, I hope. There are some interesting findings. And that testing underlies a new TAPR project I'm working on;

Hi There are a number of threads on the uBlox receivers. Quick summary: All of the outputs from the typical examples are run with a “drop a pulse / add a pulse” approach to steer them to the correct frequency. If you are after a “clean” output for some sort of gear (like a synthesizer) … not so

Hi Rich, I'm using a LEA-M8T in a GPSDO project. I've gathered a bit of experience with the M8 timing receivers over the past two or three years. Both timepulse outputs can be programmed to any frequency and duty cycle you like, 10kHz is certainly not a problem. However, some things to consider

Yes, we did, and learned, that the device -- the ublox6 --  forgets the the program very fast, thus we added one arduino, which loads the program into the ublox at every new turn on. By using low output frequency -- 10kHz -- the jitter is low, at higher output frequency the jitter is getting
