[Elecraft] 10 MHz Reference Oscillator

[Mel Farrer]

I agree, and when you put the GPS referenced osc against my HP8920 and the old HP 5346M on X-Y scope input, the circle hardly moves.

For evaluation I purchased last spring directly from China one of the 
BG7TBL 10 mhz sine output GPS Defined Oscillators when the price was 
$125.  These very nice units are now being sold from CA for a bit more 
and comes with everything needed, Unit, GPS antenna, power supply.

It uses the Russian Morion Double oven crystal oscillators controlled by 
voltage feedback against the  GPS1 pulse per second signal using a very 
long time constant control loop.  If you would like a block drawing 
contact me directly.

I gave the unit to KE5FX, a member of the "Time Nuts" group, who has the 
equipment to evaluate it.  His results are posted at 
http://www.ke5fx.com/gpscomp.htm It was found due to the pulse width 
method of creating the Morion oscillator control voltage this unit was 
operating 2 to 3 times ten to the minus 11 cycles low.  I wouldn't get 
too upset at this as that error would only be 3 hz off at 100 GHZ.

Found the unit works great as a master reference for not only the K3 but 
lab gear like counters and signal generators.
