But the question was how to bootstrap from scratch? In other words, if the only oscillator you own is one you built, how would you know that it is working? I actually did use your method. I have a Rb and Thunderbolt, a pair of freq. counters and so on. But still I wanted to see if I could build from scratch and verify proper operation and keep the budget under say $50 for everything from antenna to power cord. I think it can be done but one can only verify longer term stability. (Yes you were correct a GOOD oversized XO is not sensitive to the environment. But notice the above budget.) -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
