Many thanks to all who responded to my request for help on this project. The SDR-IQ (http://www.rfspace.com/SDR-IQ.html) already has a built-in 66.6667 MHz osc, I just want to make it more stable and reasonably accurate, as I use it as a general coverage HF receiver with a one- Hertz

Hi Brad. Just catching up with this, after a hot weekend, and doing White Van Man impressions on (an even hotter) M1 this morning... Personally, I wouldn't bother with any high accuracy clock/oscillator for the SDR, unless you can also synch the AD sampling clock in the soundcard. As that will

Hello Brad, VE1ALQ has them. He will also make VCXO's. Do a google search for his webpages. He sells the kits as well as the assembled units. By far easier to get a PTS or Fluke sysnthesizer. Stan, W1LE Brad Dye wrote: Does anyone have a Reflock that they would sell me? Best regards,

I have just purchased a Thunderbolt GPS receiver. I hope to use this to discipline an oscillator on 66.6 MHz so I can use it as a LO on my Software Defined Receiver (SDR-IQ). Building such an oscillator is a little over my head so I thought I would ask the group if anyone knows where I

You want 66. MHz from 10 MHz. I can think of several approaches. 1) Patch the radio stuff to work with 10 MHz. Since 10 MHz is common from things like GPSDOs or Telco surplus rubidium clocks, somebody may have done that already. 2) Build a PLL. The first step is probably to find a

Hi Brad, I am a little confused about your intentions. There is no mention on the RFspace web site about a provision of being able to feed in an external reference signal to the SDR-IQ or the SDR-14 for that matter. If you study the Analog devices AD6620 component, you will see that it is a
