Please excuse my ignorance but I have been trying to improve on my frequency
calibration.
I have always used WWV but when I try to get really close in frequency, the
beat and the fading are difficult to separate.
Someone suggested I get a GPSDO to refine my 10 MHz. I looked around and have
seen a few, mostly in the $100 range, but before I shell out fot something I
know little about I wonder if someone can give me a short tutorial or at least
some advice on what I need to do.
I live in Los Angeles so I imagine signals would be reasonably strong. But
what hardware and software do I need? I want 10 MHz to put into my counter or,
at least, to calibrate the time base in the counter. I prefer the latter,
since that means I won't have to receive GPS signals in order to measure
frequency. Most of the time I don't need really accurate results.
I could run an outdoor antenna if needed. What receiver ought I look into, how
much budget do I need, and all the other questions relating to this subject.
And finally, how much frequency error can I expect?
Bob
