Paul, I can speak for a few of us over in the OpenHPSDR group that are also 'time-nuts' - We have the GPSTCXO eval kit that Said is speaking of and we have been very satisfied. It is a great fit for what we're doing. We are working on a new board now that is near completion that can either have the GPSTXCO module or the LC_XO module - and if you want to use both at the same time I suppose you can do that too if you're careful. ;) (The new board can be used in a standalone mode or can be connected to the HPSDR backplane we call the Atlas bus - a mini-VME like chassis connector.)
I did recently get an LC_XO unit as well and have looked at that with GPSCon, my scope, etc. - performs (I think) identically to the GPSTCXO plus a few other features. I think some of the people in this group have plots they can share with you. Don't be fooled by the name of this group - the 'real experts' are here. Don't be bashful about asking them questions. I am a neophyte in this area but I am fascinated by what this group is about plus how the GPS birds (satellites) work. 73's (Best Regards), John Westmoreland AJ6BC (Call sign) On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 1:52 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Paul, > > try the Jackson Labs GPSTCXO eval kit.
