10 Mhz GPS Reference

Thunderbolt1 Thunderbolt2

Here in Februar 2010, I bought a Trimble 10 Mhz Reference GPS with some freinds on the internet. We have also bought som 24 Ghz transcievers and would like to get a known stabel frequenz. Also my other instruments have a 10 Mhz input for more accurate frequenz stability (Signal Generator and Frequenz Counter).
Together with the GPS unit there is also a display to show status of the unit. That will come later.

At the moment I have build it in at cabinet together with it''s power supply and checked that it is functioning.

GPS

Here is the GPS antenna mounted on my roof with free LOS.

This is my 1 Ghz Frequenz counter connected to the 10 Mhz reference.

Monitor

At the Trimble site - there is a Monitor program to check functiong of the Reference.
