[Hackrf-dev] 10MHz clock

[Simon Brown]

Hi,

I have ordered two http://www.freqelec.com/rb_osc_fe5680a.html from eBay and also two 3dB SMA attenuators, so the voltage will be 3.3V. I will check this with my 'scope, if it looks OK I'll try it.

That one would not work without some circuitry in between.  It would be nice to develop a clock expansion board for HackRF One (and, yes, the preferred capitalization is "HackRF") that permits a variety of input and output options including low voltage sinusoidal signals.  I would also like the board to have a higher stability oscillator and perhaps its own GPS (optional?).
