Same here. A GPSDO like the thunderbolt is really nice from a system integration point of view. Buy an easy thingy kit on ebay, and you have your 10 MHz reference. However, cannot a lot be gained from using a more up-to-date design with newer gps engine?
On the one hand we have a thunderbolt which you can view as blackbox that has a nice stable 10 MHz as output. On the other hand we have for example a Motorola M12+T where you have to do your own oscillator disciplining. At this point I am more inclined to go for the thunderbolt since it solves a lot of problems. However I feel that with a modern gps engine with better pps signal + a good quality XO you could get a better 10 MHz signal.

The t-bolt is a GPS disciplined oscillator. the M12 is only a GPS and you'd need to add the oscillator and the means to discipline it. -- ===== Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
