If you GPS-discipline that OCXO, I think it would be more than adequate.<br>
Since you've already got the 1 PPS GPS signal, all that should be needed<br>
in addition to the OCXO/Si5351 is a little $3 Arduino board (like:<br>
<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/131702108124" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.ebay.com/itm/131702108124</a> ) to program the desired output<br>
frequency(s) and perform compensation.<br>
<br>
$16 for an OCXO ---NICE! ...The whole project maybe $25!<br>

So I just had this idea to analyze 2 meter band openings, find a weak<br>
162MHz weather station and have a dummy app_rpt node Receive that signal.<br>
Using DSP, Then print the current strength to a file, and graph it.<br>
<br>
Is there any way to get the current signal strength and store it in a bash<br>
variable or something?<br>

The RTCM and simulcast DOES work. As mentioned before, you have to be<br>
using a transmitter that can accept a 10 mHz (or whatever) reference<br>
signal. You also need 1 PPS for your receivers and transmitter. You also<br>
need to sync the RTCM to your GPSDO (which I have not done). If you have<br>
not done all this you WILL hear some "funk" in the overlap areas.<br>
<br>
That "funk" can go from usable to un-usable depending on how strong the<br>
transmitters are in the overlap region.<br>
<br>
Pardon the "non-technical" terms. It does work but the law of physics do<br>
apply here.<br>
