[time-nuts] RFTG-m-RB

[James R. Gorr]

My scope was set for 2 volts / div, terminated right
in to the scope.  Arguably not the best way to view
it...

Here is another photo, terminated with 50 Ohms and
amplitude set at 1 volt per division.  I guess it
looks a lot cleaner.  Not sure what the impedance is
supposed to be.

I always assumed frequency references should be sine
waves.  If that is not the case, I guess I can use
this for a reference for other equipment?  And if a
square wave is just fine, could I use a clock-block to
divide the 15 MHz of the XO down to 10 MHz?  If not,
what other alternatives are there to get 10 MHz out
the the 15 MHz?  I have seen discussion on the
reflector about this, I will go back and search for
any circuits someone might have posted.

Sorry to unload so many questions!

Thanks! --Jamie
