You know...it just occurred to me --- most of our newer transceivers use
some form of TCXO for dynamic frequency control -- if "we" develop a
control-board that would extract common GPS data (say from a Garmin
GPS-whatever), it would be possible to scale the TCXO from its inherent
Stratum 3 or 3E accuracy to derived Stratum 1 -- building holdover control
into the the control-board would allow the TCXO to maintain Stratum
1-derived-accuracy over several weeks, that is if the TCXO control loses GPS
data input.
Hey...this is big! Do you realize that this would make our TCXO-controlled
ham radio equipment virtually self-calibrating and extremely accurate?
This GPS-derived clocking accuracy-control is used everyday in the telecomm
industry -- it would work with our stuff too!
<sigh!> Who would need a frequency counter or a service monitor?
73!
