[time-nuts] Frequency comparison

[Raj]

Hi Dan,

        Low tech. Yes! IMHO I think its easier for my mind to track an analog indication of Delta-V. I am more analog oriented.. my son OTOH may be able to read a last digit flickering digital display better than me!.

I am other wise thinking of a DIY gizmo: 

        Mix two signals in an SBL1 or Eq. 
        Take the phase/DC IF difference out
        Make a zero crossing detector or similar
        Timimg the event. Wait for the event in other words!
        Twiddle the preset again and see what happens.

        The human mind does a lot more processing than the above with an analog display..

Cheers

>Raj, I did exactly this but with an old chart recorder attached to the mixer IF port.  This allows one to leave the room and not have to watch for hours or days.   I was able to adjust my -hp- rubidium unit this way against gps to better than one cycle per day.
