10G GPS Locked LNB Receiver

[@fletcherreder6091]

Got lucky a few weeks ago and picked up a Rohde & Schwarz branded GPSDO reference for $25. It needs an LNB which is why it was so cheap, but it puts out a very clean 10MHz sine on the antenna connector that is frankly tempting to use for other things. Frankly an L band LNB isn't that hard but it's another project on the pile, ya know?

Great! 10 MHz is not very useful for the Ku band LNBs as I think they all need 25 MHz. But it is very good for a lot of other things. I have a Trimble Thunderbolt GPSDO that is the master 10 MHz reference for test equipment and VHF/UHF ham gear. I definitely know about projects on the pile. I have a pile here.

I have been very busy with other things but hope to get a new video or two out soon.

This is all very intriguing to me, especially as a fairly new operator. Thanks for sharing your work and I look forward to the progress. Going to read through your website now!

Thanks Dustin. I have been building stuff and exploring various aspects of this amazing hobby for many years. 10 GHz is my latest adventure. I am glad you find it intriguing. I am finding a lot of things about it are rather hard to find real information on, so there is a lot of learning as I go and making mistakes. I hope some some small part of what I learn may help someone else.
