[DSP-10] small TCXO's

[Johan Forrer]

Hi,

FWIW:

Digikey has a number of possibilities at reasonable
prices. I recently obtained a voltage-controlled
oven-stabilized 10MHz SMT part (DIGIKEY X493CT-ND) at
around $15. The idea is to build a second outer-oven
for this tiny SMT module as part of a Brooks Shera
10MHz standard system. 

I use a TEMEC 10MHz TCXO SMD part built into a tiny
Hammond box to replace the 10MHz crystal in the
DSP-10. Once warmed up, that stays within ~10Hz of my
HP Z3801A standard. It's OK for SSB, CW, and FM QSO's,
but not perfect for serious work.

73,
