[time-nuts] Z3815A Internal SMA 10Mhz Output

[GandalfG8 at aol.com]

Hi Adrian
 
Yes, I decided that too and may well try it sometime,  although it's quite 
well down the "to do" pile right now, and it's even made  slightly easier as 
it's already divided down internally to  2.048MHz:-)
 
Ironically, when I bought the Trak unit I already had a 2.048MHz master  
oscillator system using two ovened crystal oscillators in an auto switchover  
arrangement, plus the distribution amplifier to match, and I've never found 
very  much use for those either:-)
 
Regards

Nigel,

you can easily divide the 16.384MHz by 16.384 (2^14)  to get 1 kHz for 
phase locking a 10 MHz oscillator with your GPS  box.
