Jerry... How do you know that propagation delays cause about a 1 ppm error ? I have not found that figure referenced elsewhere, and would like to know how to measure or estimate it. Thanks ! Gary
Appropros of that (protecting the input with a pair of diodes), wouldn't it be a good idea to protect our regular antenna connection in that exact same manner ? Sounds too simple, so I must be missin
