Re: [Flexradio] GPS antenna for the 6700

[Flexradio] External 10 MHz reference input for 6700?

2014-05-19 Thread Jerry Flanders

Jerry: Yes. When the radio boots, the current software will auto-detect the presence of an external 10 MHz reference input that is above the minimum input level and use it instead of the internal OCXO (6700) or internal TCXO (6500). It does this at boot time, so if you apply the 10 MHz input
