The advantage of the Leo Bodnar unit is that it can do a lot more than just act as a fixed 10 MHz reference. It covers the range 450 Hz to 800 MHz, so has many other uses around the shack. I use mine for frequency locking the 116 MHz Local oscillator of an a G4DDK Anglian 144 MHz transverter.

Two Christmases ago, my fiance asked me what I wanted for a gift. On a whim, without too much study, I said a Bodnar GPSDO. I emailed Leo and inquired about using the unit as a reference for my SDR-IQ (66. MHz) and a 10 MHz source for my DG8SAQ network analyzer which can also operate as a

Thanks for bringing up phase noise. From my research on other cheap devices (knockoff TCXOs), I have found that phase noise was obviously not considered and in that case was truly awful. It was in the -115 dBc range at 100hz, but, likely due to poor design, actually rose to -110 dBc at 10-100 kHz o

How did you measure the GPSDO? Against the Rubidium? On 5/8/2017 3:26 PM, Jay Miller wrote: I was curious so I bought a GPS disciplined 10MHz source from China using the eBay seller "cybereveryday." I have a calibrated scope and a Rubidium 10MHz source. I noticed a frequency offset on three of

Need to get that TMP cable (radio to Freq. Ctr) made and get back to the project of determining exactly how close you can get on average without an instrument(s). Pretty sure I can get a lot closer than 25 Hz using my ear even my old aviator's ear. Glad I chose NOT to try the eBay/Chinese PCB
