[time-nuts] A better oscillator for the M12+T

[Stephan Sandenbergh]

Hi,

What will prevent me from de-soldering the oscillator on the M12+T and feed
it a stable, synthesized version (other words, same frequency as the current
oscillator) of my GPS steered OCXO? (This will be a heavily filtered, low
jitter signal of course) It seems to me I could improve timing performance
by quite a bit, without that much difficulty. I'm aware that the GPS
receiver includes some sort of temperature compensation inside the
controller, but what if I keep it at constant temperature?

I've heard of people trying this with other receivers. The theory says that
a better clock will improve the carrier to noise ratio, and thus also the
GPS measurements. Are there people around here that has tried it before?

Regards,

Stephan.
