U2 Frequency and 1PPs

Might not be a silly question.
How do I know when the U2 is frequency synchronized to the 1PPS.

The DDS oscillator will have its calibration figure altered by the GPS 1PPS, changing up or down from 125 000 000 and of course the signal output will be accurately on frequency. Providing you have followed the instructions re non continuous TX of Mode.

Also if you are not using the GPS Data input the manually set time will keep accurate to the second.

Is is a good idea to have a small indication on the LCD when in
normal operatin gmode that indicates that the GPS has locked ?

That would save having to check the DDS Ref Freq menu.

That sounds like a good idea to me, how about some 'square brackets' around the Locator i.e. in my case IO84 becomes [IO84]?

Mmmm, tried "all"? settings. freq stays at 125.000.000. Time does not get updated
It seems to sulk with GPS on and do nothing. tried inverting and all pulse width up to 50%. GPS is GARMIN GPS16 LV version at 5 volts in.
Pulses out at 4.5 volts for NMEA and PPS
Yes have had frame at 04 and waited. sorry to be a pain.

Ok Andy, Colin!

Ok! I will add an indication that GPS lock has occurred! One more for the wish-list!
