Re: [time-nuts] Interesting paper: Don't GPSD' your Rb...

The paper should really be titled Another way to discipline your Rb to GPS. Wouldn't it make more sense given the phase noise in the Rb to base your correction on a moving average diffence. 1) Reduce the Rb phase noise 2) Carefully make it a multiple of a day to cancel diurnal effects of the

Mine stopped the same way. I gently spread the boards apart and unsoldered the 3 pin regulator then added a Red-LED in place of the three links (Original circuit had three diodes) and my monitor starting working again. So it may be recoverable. Regards Randall -Original Message- From:

1 Hz in 10Mhz is about the same ratio as 5mHz in 64Khz. This would make sense if the Clock for the A/D is divided off the same TXCO. Or am I missing something. The reason I jumped in, in a recent frequency measuring contest the winner was using that interpolation for his results. Regards
