Yes, definitly. Often it's very simple information one is lacking. Like: where to find such information :-) KO4BB's site is definitly worth a look, even if a bit overwhelming and not clearly structured (especially if you dont know what you are looking for). A list of OCXOs and their benefits/drawbacks, like the list Luciano (aka timeok) send a couple of weeks back is also a great help. Or Vig's presentation on quarz resonators (if you haven't read it, you should!) Then a list of sources for time/frequency refrences and how to aquire them (like GPS -> GPSDO, DCF77/WWVB receivers etc). But i don't know of any document that does this... And something that glues all of the above together... The rest is just a mater of asking and finding the right documenation. :-) Attila Kinali -- There is no secret ingredient -- Po, Kung Fu Panda _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
