Hi all,

Sorry if this is coming through twice - I sent it once before I subscribed
to the list, but didn't know if it went through or not! (I didn't see it in
the archives...)

-------

I'm having some trouble using an external reference with the Ettus N310.
The reference I am using is a FS725 Rubidium Frequency Standard.

To test the difference between the internal clock and the external
reference, I transmitted a 10MHz signal from the Ettus N310 with and
without the external reference. Using just the internal clock of the SDR,
the 10MHz signal slowly wanders with respect to the 10MHz signal from the
Rubidium Frequency Standard as seen on an oscilloscope. This is to be
expected since the stability of the internal clock in the SDR is worse than
the Rubidium Frequency Standard.

However, when I connect the 10MHz signal from the Rubidium to the external
reference of the N310 and tell the N310 to use the external reference, the
10MHz signal that the N310 generates wanders much faster with respect to
the 10MHz signal from the Rubidium. This is opposite of what I believe
should happen, assuming the N310 is truly using the external reference
signal.

Have any of you experienced this or have any tips as to what might be going
on?

Thanks!

-Chris
