   I have a Racal counter locked to 1 MHz on its rear panel external
   input socket from my Trimble Thunderbolt GPS. I derive the 1 Mhz
   from a David Partridge divider board. If I also feed the counter
   with the 10 Mhz direct output from the same GPS it reads one or two
   Hz out. As I assume the counter is working purely mathematically
   why would that be please?


   As an aside, I work low frequency RF transmissions on 136 Mhz, and
   very narrow bandwidth. Can a soundcard be locked to GPS instead of
   its own internal crystal for precise frequency output?

   Thanks.
