Charles I was also not aware that James Miller had done a Shera, I have copied his other unit I call a GPS PLL and my notes show a Clark but they are the same. What I added was a op amp in the filter to drive low impedance OCXO inputs and we use a $ 15 ublox M7. at 1 KHz. Right out of the box we get 1 E-10 using a Morion and I am turning it over to some Hams to play with the filter. It was more of a test what can be done with a very low cost simple circuit and not intended for time nuts. Would be the wrong direction. As to Ed's and Bob's comments our projects are not able to compete with commercial products and I do not think that should be our goals. Having spend extensive time on temperature control, I limit my self to 10 C and use fans on all Rb's and passive on OCXO's. Concern about vibration induced noise on the OCXO made me remove the fan on the tbolt. Added a lot of mass and now ordered some foam balls from China to fill the enclosure as some one recommended. Foam has to be close cell so not to absorb moisture. Did also run some foam pieces through a mixer with mixed results. Decided to wait for the small balls and do moisture tests on both and fill a tbolt. Since I have two identical units I will be able to compare..Goal is to slow the temperature change to a rate that the GPSDO loop takes care of the frequency change.

I was referring to this one, by James Miller G3RUH, which uses a Shera controller and 10811 OCXO: <http://www.jrmiller.demon.co.uk/projects/freqstd/frqstd.htm> Answering my own question: yes, there appear to be at least two "Miller GPSDOs," both by the same Miller. Here is another (presumably the one Ed was referring to): <http://www.jrmiller.demon.co.uk/projects/ministd/frqstd.htm> Best regards, Charles _______________________________________________ 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.
