10MHz++

I finally got myself one of the BG7TBL 10MHz distribution amplifiers. I (will) have a few devices that need a 10MHz input for frequency stability so this is handy. It actually came from China via Aliexpress a lot cheaper than similar (and rare) offerings on eBay, and it only took 5 days. Anyway, here it is:

A BG7TBL 10MHz distribution amplifier with 9 BNC connectors and a green front panel.

The 10MHz source is coming from the DX Patrol GPSDO and as a test one output is to a 'scope and one to a counter. Rather unexpectedly (to me) it takes a square wave feed from the DX Patrol but gives out 8 separate sinewaves.

Of note, the voltage input is specified as 11.7 to 12.9V, not the usual 13.8V. But as I need 12V for the Winterhill and the 13cm transverter I already have 12V around the place.

Although this one says it has an OXCO this one does not - it is an option but I decided against it. I have a decent 10MHz OXCO if I ever need it.
