Re: LF: Re: PhaseScope beta 1.0 release...

Fine. Tks for replies.
I'm not concerned about the RX stability contribution-that's under 
control (or should be!) But for non-GPS  disciplined TXs I wondered 
just how good they would have to be to be able to be 'observed'-as in 
how much latitude there was for the transmitted frequency to be offset 
from the nominal.  Seems like plus/minus 1 Hz may be the limit as per 
Scotts email, although as Murray points out, the phase info will 
probably be of no particular value for such sources, always assuming 
the source remains inside the above limits over the integration time.
Possible 'targets' noted, Murray- Is there a source from Antarctica on 
exactly 20 kHz? I had a look for the 19.1 kHz TX down there last year 
but as it was only on for 60 seconds at a time every few minutes I 
didnt 'copy' it. Not sure if it's still running-must check.
I'll get back to you re a test on 181.4 some time soon.
