The OP wants to use the 10KHz signal to discipline a OCXO, not to run a microwave transmitters (at least no directly.) The (minutes long) time constant on the GPSDO will even out any phase anise on the 10KHZ signal. So using 10KHz or 1Hz makes lithe difference if you avargage over a handful of minutes. The final output depends mostly on the quality of the OCXO. For a long time people stopped building GPSDOs because the Thunderbolt sold for $100. The price has gone up and so maybe it's time to think about how to build a good GPSDO but with target price under $100 and simple enough that a PCB is not required. -- 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.
