You would not need any additional justification.\nAO-40 was a very difficult satellite to use for that very reason. The \nU band receiver local oscillator had it's drifting characteristic and \nthe S band Tx had its own LO. Between the two you never knew exactly \nwhat the transfer function would be. With a common reference \noscillator hopefully closely controlled the transfer function will be \nmuch better known.\nWith a common clock at least everything drifts together. With the \nhigher frequencies of the C band system it will be even more important.\n\nLou McFadin\nW5DID\[email protected]\n\n\nOn Apr 9, 2007, at 11:06 PM, Jim Sanford wrote:\n\n> Bill et al:\n> The requirement for the 10MHz reference descends from the July 2004\n> meeting in Orlando.
