[time-freq] time-freq Digest, Vol 38, Issue 2

[Merv Thomas]

Hi Luis - thanks for the reply.

Right now it is a bit of a quandary as to what firmware version was 
installed as the person who did this(some 3 to 4 years ago)has no record!

My expert friend and I want to configure the CPLD to use a 10MHz reference 
to discipline a 10 MHz OCXO oscillator so possibly the VHLD's for the 
r2_flex_01 and the r2_bigflex-01.

Later on I would also like to use a 10KHz reference from a Jupiter GPS to 
discipline the 10MHz OXCO if that is possible so you may have a better idea 
as to what you need to send us.

My friend has not at this stage looked at anything yet as he was awaiting 
the source code files.

I suppose they are too large to send all versions??

Your generous help appreciated.

Currently I have experimented with a development board from Atmel for their 
AD8302 and have a very successful lock from an HPZ3801A GPS as reference 
controlling an Isotemp 10MHz OXCO and checking the OXCO freq with an HP 
5335A(which has a GPS 10MHz external timebase) counter which shows an exact 
10MHz output right down to 00 after the last Hz register.

Will the Reflock 2 also achieve this or better(don't have any way to check 
for greater accuracy!)

Regards,

Merv  VK6BMT
