VK5RLZ GPS Locked

Post by VK5ZD »

The VK5RLZ 23cm and 13cm beacons are now GPS locked.
Exact frequencies are 1296.45200486Mhz and 2403.45205479MHz.
The variations from the nominal frequencies (x.452MHz) are due to PLL programming limitations.

The 3.4GHz, 5.7GHz and 10GHz beacons will be on in the near future.

Great work!

It's good to see how many VHF-UHF and microwave beacons around VK have become GPS-locked, with more in the offing.
