Hi Christian,

No, what you need is a good external clock. The internal clock will drift with 
temperature and age etc and is not deterministic.
Depending on your price point, there are multiple options, from cheap GPSDO's 
do the highest-end Fugro Atomichron ones (Sparkfun GNSSDO for example).

Kind regards,
John

Hi John,

yes we are using the internal clock. It is just a bit weird that the 
exact same setup worked in the past. We then had the SDR deployed in 
another project and now wanted to try the setup again and it stopped 
working because of the shift.

But if it is technically within spec and we can't really do anything to 
fix this, I guess we just need a new SDR
