Hi Paul, yes, it's a promotional tool, we did not put it on the website yet. We did put the GPSOCXO/GPSTCXO page on there though, and the GPSTCXO is used on that eval kit. Even though it is "only" a very high-end TCXO, it's performance is quite good, especially when encased in a small plastic bag etc to keep airflow away from it. TVB has done some measurements on this board, and I think he may have a page with the results on his website somewhere. Here is the GPSTCXO eval board photo, the user manual is too big to be posted to this list, let me know if you want me to send it off-list to you. The eval board has a 10MHz LVCMOS output on the BNC connector, supports a USB connection for power, NMEA, SCPI, and 1PPS interface, and has a solder point for the LVCMOS 1PPS output. It also has a connector for optional exernal 4V to 8V power supplies, and comes with an antenna, a USB cable, a CD with software an manuals, and a quick-start instruction sheet. Hope that helps, Said In a message dated 10/2/2012 12:24:29 Pacific Daylight Time, paulswedb@gmail.com writes: Said I was looking and did not see the eval kit on the sight???

Said I have to say I was looking through the list of modules that are available. I guess a couple of things really jump out. The low power consumption and what you get in terms of behaviors. It is pretty amazing actually. Though I have my power sucking Tbolt and 3801. But I could easily see for a Amateur radio operator just getting into time nuttery that these might be a nice way to go. I guess that would open an interesting debate. Getting the used RBs at Hamfest of questionable quality for $200 or far less. Or something modern and simply works. Regards Paul.

I went with something modern that haut works (fury). But bitten by time buttery and now trying to discipline a very good OCXO with a fury board. Quite challenging actually. Having to balance noise etc. Sent from mobile On Oct 2, 2012, at 4:20 PM, paul swed <paulswedb@gmail.com> wrote: > Said > I have to say I was looking through the list of modules that are available. > I guess a couple of things really jump out. > The low power consumption and what you get in terms of behaviors.
