Hi, Just a note the thanks to all who helped with the info on the above gpsdo and the gps engine manuals. Now in the rack and seems rock solid compared to a 10MHz gpsdo. Looking at the Trimble manual, looks like a standard Trimble protocol. Will connect a serial analyser inline to find out

John sent the link on the teensy wwvb AM receiver. It can easily be shifted to other frequencies. Using the work Frank dcf77 and then Chris wwvb did with the PJRC audio design tool gives quite a bit of insight to the work that was done. The system assumes a sample rate of 192Khz. That limits the

Hi ….. and of course, there was an OCXO that used a beryllium oxide substrate in pretty much the same way (inner oven in a double oven). Same basic issues and not exactly cost effective. The alumina substrate lives on in a number of miniature oven designs. Bob > On Nov 1, 2020, at 5:20 AM,
