Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Hi Bob, Like some of the others posting here, I'm disappointed in the ProgRock and QLG1 GPS as a 10 MHz reference. I'm using the recommended Fox TCXO which is just excellent. And for cheap. But the

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Hi Bob and all, I¡¯m following this thread closely because I have built a 10Mhz Reference from a Progrock and a UBox M-6 module. It works, but is not as accurate as thought it would be. I think it

Re: QCX Firmware Upgrade Problem With AVRDUDESS
With every major release you had to re-learn Windows as they keep making major changes on how Windows works, I'm speaking of Win2K, Xp, Windows 7, and Windows 10 not the in-between updates. Linux on

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Ok, Thanks guys. So if I understand it, using the OCXO/Si5351A with the Progrock instead of the standard non-OCXO 5351A version would be an improvement? That makes sense. All of the GPS discipline

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Bob, I suspect you could do better with a good modern OCXO. (Mine stays within about 0.1Hz at 10MHz over a year checked with GPS.) But I await John's tests with interest. 73 Alan G4ZFQ

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
I just read through the ProgRock manual and it looks like using the OCXO oscillator with the ProgRock and the GPS will get you close, but it doesn't look like it will be real "Lab Grade" but will be
