Hi all The easiest setup to get 10MHz out of the15MHz is using a SiLabs5351C and program it 15MHz in and 10MHz out. You have 8 outputs you can define. Pics of my setup here <https://www.dropbox.com/s/h5qrxwfb3fkshen/IMG_1465.JPG?dl=0>and here <https://www.dropbox.com/s/jvg6vebxih8ih2s/IMG_1466.jpg?dl=0>. I am using this for all my SDR’s and conventional Rx/Tx with 10 MHz ref inputs. Works great.
