Anyone wanting to build a GPS locked frequency source may be interested to know that the modules are advertised at $US14.95 and arrived here in the UK three days after ordering over the Internet. The only snag now is to get an active aerial, or some work-around - presumably a circularly polarised aerial with a MAT device - and an OSX connector. Grateful for helpful suggestions on the latter. 73 John, G3WKL
