[time-nuts] 5MHz ocxo

Make up an adapter board with the divide by two under the Morion oscillator. 
Make the correct pin out on the board.
Those units are very nice for the money. You might get a bad one though. 
They have an issue with a SMT capacitor on many of them. But again, many 
have opened them up for repair.

I suppose that the argument is that the GPS keeps the frequency to much
tighter limits than the "raw" oscillator. The Morion units look
interesting and cheap enough to pick one up anyway - one minor grumble
is that the position of the Vref/Vin pins seems swapped compared with
the HCD one.
