WTB: 10-MHz Test Oscillator Wanted

Hello,

Want 10-MHz crystal oscillator that puts out a volt or so for frequency
counter calibration check.

Must have cap to set freq zeroed onto WWV for a few minutes operation;
no long-term stability required.
Something like the XG1 ... battery, BNC, not fancy.

Thought this would be simple search ... a kit-builder's project. Guess
nobody's making such a kit.

Anybody have or know where to get?

Thanks,
Alan

Alan, M3 Electronix, Inc has such an item that they have for
sale as a completed item. Used in calibrating their FPM-1
Frequency Counter/Power Meter Kit. Also you might
want to look for an HP-10811 Crystal Oscillator that often
shows up on EBay.......this can be slaved with GPS for an
extremely active 10 MHz standard with some additional
electronics.......or for more money go with a ribidium
unit.

Don,
The XG1 output isn't enough signal for the scope (and its output, which
is connected to my freq counter).
No adjustment cap either.

http://www.aade.com/newfreq/new%20freq.htm does have merit. If there's a
cap in there to
tweak at some future time, then it should do the trick.

Thanks,
Alan--

Keep an eye out on the "e=place"!! Look for a Measurements Corporation
Model 111 crystal calibrator. They can be zeroed to WWV and stay within
just a few parts per million if kept on all the time. I have seen them
quite cheap at time there. Excellent little oscillator.
