I use the 10MHz distribution from SV1AFN behind my PRS10 (rubidium) controlled by the PPS of a timing GPS. Many of symmetricom/microsemi clock distribution are not even competing on the jitter, and the price is totally different.
@@TonyAlbus 10MHz distribution ... Testing using my TSD694C with histograms : this is what I got: Jitter at 1GHZ 0dBm from Agilent 8665B : SV1AFN : 77ps deviation 372ps pk-pk BG7TBL : 86ps deviation 536ps pk-pk SRS FS710 : 100ps deviation 732ps pk-pk
Hi, Tony! I have the GPS with the LCD you show in your video. I am curious why you use multiple GPSDO units since your splitter can supply all your devices. I would think using different devices would introduce inconsistencies between the units if you are using them as external references..
Hi James, i use only 1 at the time indeed. i have more becouse of different Satalite networks, Galilea, Glonass and GPS. later i found out, most of this gpsdo devices can do all networks, it just activating them.. i have a video about that too: ua-cam.com/video/eAdJSErqZOk/v-deo.html here i show how you can activate for free all the SAT networks.
Hi Tony, first keep up the good work with the very interesting subjects. As input for your GPSDO project, did you ever tried the MiniGPS from Leo Bodnar? I use one combined with the 10M-6ppl and FA-2. 73's André PD2AM
Thank you Andre! .. Yes Leo makes great stuff, also those fast rise time devices. i am now buying most of the stuff myself, maybe someone can confince Leo to send me some stuff to play with :) Yes that is a nice setup, i like that pll and FA-2 too..
I have a thing, maybe an early transistor tester? Its maybe 30s or 50s. Its a mahogany box, maybe a box box. It takes a battery and has a button, a couple of needle gages.
In addition to likely being more reliable, your money not going to support a regime that currently has active concentration camps seems like an upside. In electronics we have little choice aside from sending some of our money to China, but I think that if we can spend our money with liberal democracies that support human rights, morally, we should.
Yes it could be more reliable, but i would have prefered the GPS in a bigger box so it does not become that hot and a serial output. But the devices look indeed very good.
@@TonyAlbus Have you ever looked into the Leo Bodnar GPSDO, UK based? There is a "mini" and a two channel version. I use the "mini" which is excellent, has a very small metal case and it gets only hand warm if at all. And it allows setting wanted ref frequencies very easy through a little App (I use on my Mac computers, but also Windows version available) Not a cheap devive, but well built and I like it ;)
Thanks for your time and effort.
My pleasure! , Thanks WoxIt!
Hi, my DXPatrol GPSDO is not hot like yours. Is supplied with 13,8 V and is not warmer that the room temperature. That is strange.
Hi, maybe your device is newer and has a OCXO that produces less heat or the power regulation is better so it also produces less heat.

Yes agree SV1AFN has some good quality stuff for nice price

I have this had it about a year now does what it says on the tin
Thank you for your feedback!
Hi Tony, Nice video. It occured to me that we probably took our HAM licens exam on the same day, my first call was PE1ONT. 73, Albert PA3GUK
Hi Albert, what are the odds 1 Letter differance my exam was April 8 1992, Nationaal Badminton Center Nieuwegein... just found the letter :)

Sounds like a nice machine!
Too bad DX-Patrol was not Neo 8 or 9 or had NMEA GPS data available. I do like that they show the schematic in the manual.
Totaly agree on both
Very nice video but I must say its very hard to understand you when you talk softly.
Thank you for the feedback.

@@markuskeller9734 Hi Markus, i do know Leo i have the fast risetime generator.
