[time-nuts] RFX GPSDO - Anybody played with one of these?

[Said Jackson]

Don,

Check out the JLT GPSTCXO eval board, plug and play no pcb layout required, very good performance if shielded from airflow, delivery from stock less than 1week, much lower power, gpstcxo itself w/o eval board is similar size. Supports WAAS, Egnos and Msas too.

Supported by Ulrichs excellent Z38xx, and GPSCon.

$300 time nuts special pricing plus usps shipping, tax in CA, comes with usb cable and GPS antenna, just a PC is needed or 5V supply.

Bye,
Said
