[time-nuts] New GPSDO on EBAY From China

[xaos]

You have to give the guy credit for trying.
What is a shame here is that he did not
publish the schematics and the source code.

If anyone knows him he should just ask him. We tend to
be sceptics here but that's the nature of the game.
However, I don't want anyone to think that we are elitist.

I remember my first GPSDO, by Brooks Sherra,
on QST. I remember reading the schematic and the
source code many times until I "got it". It
is the reason I got interested in "time-nuts"
to begin with.

So, I think we would all benefit from going a bit
deeper on this new unit. I hope the designer
is reading this.
