[Lowfer] Icom R75 Frequency Jumps

[ToddRoberts2001 at aol.com]

Pat, To lock my R75 to GPS I am using a DFS30 frequency 
tripler kit sold by Dave, G4HUP.
I have my DFS30 hooked up to the 10 mHz
output of a Thunderbolt GPS receiver.The DFS30 triples the 10mHz  output 
to substitute for the 30 mHz timebase in the R75.
 
You can learn more about the DFS30 kit here:

The cost for the DFS30 kit is 27.50 GBP and Dave will accept  payment
via PayPal. The kit uses surface mount components so one needs to
be comfortable with soldering SMT if they would like to build their own  
DFS30.
 
Most of the Thunderbolt GPS receivers are sold out on eBay now but  there
are a few left in the $225 price range. I have heard of some hams using a 
Jupiter GPS receiver but I am not familiar with that one. I believe the  
Jupiter
only has a 10kHz output that needs to be multiplied up to 10mHz.

Todd,

Did you use Jays circuit for GPS locking your R75?
