[Elecraft] Cheap ref osc to lock K3

[brian]

LA3ZA used a UBLOX NEO-7 GPS unit to lock his K3.
This $20 unit including complete development board can be obtained here.

It's tiny, has a patch antenna (although a $10 active antenna works 
better) and consumes under 60ma.
It can be powered from +5v or a USB port.  It fits in a 2"x3" box. Once 
set up it is stand alone not requiring a computer connection.

There was some question as to whether the jitter of the unit would 
disqualify it as a decent ref osc.

A posting on the SpectrumLab group indicated that it seems quite 
adequate for K3 disciplining.

Accuracy within 0.02 to 0.03 Hz of a Rb standard.
Output spectrum seems to indicate that jitter is not a problem for this 
purpose.
