A question regarding the DOCXO, double ovenized crystal oscillator to Chuck, W7CS. I'm completely new to this, but after having looked at a few in ebay, I see that they have an input for frequency control. Do you use them as is, or do you calibrate them by setting the control voltage? And how

Everything you need to know for setting up a surplus OCXO: http://www.kl7uw.com/10MHzREF.jpg one caveat the power cube was a mistake as it output a 0.5v triangular wave at 120-Hz riding on the 12vdc output -not good. So use a well filtered-regulated 12v PS instead (battery optional).

GPS stabilized 10 MHz crystal oscillators are really an overkill, to be references for todays transceivers. A good DOCXO, double ovenized crystal oscillator, is more than adequate, some even claiming accuracies of 10 parts to the -11th . I have purchased several, through Internet

The newer Trimble Thunderbolt requires +24VDC, but some of the older units on E-Bay, etc. may require +5VDC, +12VDC and -12VDC, which can be obtained from a simple/inexpensive power supply. (I used a Meanwell NET-35B). It outputs a 10MHz sine wave (which plugs into the K3EXREF) as well as 1pps

Bob The Trimble Thunderbolt is scarce on the used market and when they appear the price is painful. They were designed and manufactured for the BB wireless and cellular market when the industry switched from analog to digital synchronized cell sites. I was part of that out business.
