Since over 10 subsystems will use \nthis reference, it would be great to get this block defined.\n\nAs you know John has already designed for operating without the 10 MHz \nsatellite clock and I'm also doing the same.\n\nOh - - - help with out Tom. You used \"s/c ranging\" in you one of your \nrecent posts. The \"s/c\" stands for what??? S and C transponders??\n\nRegards...Bill - N6GHz\n\nTom Clark, K3IO wrote:\n> Bill Ress wrote:\n>   \n>> (snip)\n>>\n>> If indeed the clock is used by all LO's it is important that the LO \n>> designers know the reference's characteristics so that synthesis schemes \n>> and loop bandwidths can be better defined.\n>>   \n>>     \n> Assume that it is a low noise crystal.
