The GPS reference we used was engineered by N6GN specifically for members of our 2 meter WSPR study group listed on http://www.qsl.net/kp4md/144_mhz_wspr.htm That discussion thread can be followed at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/2-meter-wspr/-hDK071K1iM A ready made solution to produce

As I added the insulation and fan modifications just to stabilize the internal 116 MHz local oscillator, I feel certain that they are not necessary when using a GPS disciplined LO like N5AC's VHF ApolLO. That was an alternative I did consider before our own group project GPS10 became available.

I have achieved frequency stability to 1 Hz with the Flex-1500 Elecraft XV144 transverter combination, using a GPS disciplined OCXO on 116 MHz. I have documented the XV144 frequency stability and drift data comparing the GPS control against the stock crystal oven option with enhanced thermal

Hi Guys and Gals, Does anyone know of a mod to the Elecraft XV transverters that provides for 10 Mhz GPS disciplined oscillator control of the transverter local oscillator? I think that would be a popular feature for Elecraft to consider on future versions of XV transverters. It would be
