Hi,

Thanks for the great video. I recently bought a similar GPS receiver from one of the Asian guys advertising on ebay. I din't get the promised software and attemps to communicate with the seller have not worked.

Can you direct me to a site where I can download the program you are using?

Thanks and 73,

My GPS-DO has been running a few months now. Rock solid, ultra stable, right from rig switch-on. The GPS-DO runs continuously and the PSU helps maintain the shack at a healthy 35'C+!

I spy a Trimble Thunderbolt on your desk ;-) Ideal solution.

Interesting video. Looking at locking my IC746 here because of drift issues, even when only Tx 5W! Initial experiments will probably be a 10MHz OCXO, tripled to 30MHz then coupled to the rig's LO coil with a couple of link turns of wire. Hopefully more stable on WSPR and JT65. Would like to set up a GPSDO one day. 73 - Rob VK2GOM / G0MOH
