Hi

What are you going to use the 25 MHz for? Will it drive any sort of radio? If so, cleaning up the phase
noise of the GPSDO is a *very* good idea. With a PLL, you can *subtract* noise. With a multiplier you
can only *add* noise. The narrow bandwidth PLL combined with a low nose VCXO is your friend in this case.

I would take the process one step further. I'd lock up a 100 MHz VCXO to the 10 MHz. Then you can get
100, 50, 25, and 20 MHz outputs. The 100 MHz is the key if you want to head up into the microwave
region.
