<  Has anyone used the 1s clock coming out of a GPS receiver as a
frequency meter gate ?? My idea is to use this 1s rate,
eventually divided by 10 to have a 10s rate, and feed it in my
frequency meter to have a precise gate rate.

   Why not use it the 10 mHz as a replacement for the TXO, using
the EXT. reference input?  This works fine for me.

< Than measuring a 10 MHz TCXO should give 10000.0000.
  If not would mean that the TCXO has moved and i can correct it
to show the right frequency and have a precise reference.
  At least at the time of measure. >

   I feed the GPS's 10 mHz into my counter's input, this is how I check my 
internal TXO's accuracy.
