When used inside a GPSDO it only has to "hold over" for one second until the next correction. I was thinking it might be best to use a poor quality VXO so I don't have to wait hours to exercise the control loop. Software testing I think would progress quicker. -- 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.
