PLL boards, Signal Sources etc.

I also bought some cheap PLL Developer boards  to play around with. They suffer from jitter, but  good enough for experimenting with. Also picked up a 4GHz white RF noise source for testing microwave receivers, ie. 1.2GHz, 2.4GHz and 3.4GHz transverters.

VHF, UHF and SHF wide band LNA's

I bought a few of these cheap wide band LNA's that run off 12v or 5v, with varying Gain and Bandwidths,  at a few bucks each,  they good for playing and experimenting with in terms of weak signal receivers for VHF, UHF and SHF.   Good selection around on Ebay and AliExpress.

GPSDO - GPS Disciplined Oscillator

I picked up one of these  BG7TBL 10MHz GPSDO units a few months ago to replace a borrowed Rubidium based 10 MHz reference unit.  Again this BG7TBL unit is 10 MHz sine reference, with GPS receiver input to lock it to GPS satellite time signals, so that this box provides NMEA 4800Baud data, plus 10 MHz signal, plus 1PPS signal to drive other devices.  There is even a smaller, lightweight unit available now for portable operation.
