Paul,
I can speak for a few of us over in the OpenHPSDR group that are also
'time-nuts' - We have the GPSTCXO eval kit that Said is speaking of and we
have been very satisfied.
It is a great fit for what we're doing. We are working on a new board now
that is near completion that can either have the GPSTXCO module or the
LC_XO module - and if you want to use both at the same time I suppose you
can do that too if you're careful. ;) (The new board can be used in a
standalone mode or can be connected to the HPSDR backplane we call the
Atlas bus - a mini-VME like chassis connector.)
I did recently get an LC_XO unit as well and have looked at that with
GPSCon, my scope, etc. - performs (I think) identically to the GPSTCXO plus
a few other features. I think some of the people in this group have plots
they can share with you.
Don't be fooled by the name of this group - the 'real experts' are here.
Don't be bashful about asking them questions. I am a neophyte in this
area but I am fascinated by what this group is about plus how the GPS birds
(satellites) work.
73's (Best Regards),
John Westmoreland
