What is the main reason for using a txco dongle?
And what is the main gain, compared to a regular dongle?
Many thanks.

Many thanks.
TCXO stands fot Temperature Controled Crystal (XTAL) Oscillator ..
Unlike conventional Crystals which can drift a few 10s if not 100s of cycles ..
TCXOs use a constant temperature crystal oven ..
ie ..maintained at a more constant frequency ...some as low as 1 cycle drift over many 1000s of hours of use ..
Since the dongle uses a fequency multiplication this error can show up as substantial frequency drift ..which is minimised by replacing the XTAL with a TCXO..
hope this simplified explanation helps..
your wish is my command ..Yes thanks, that explains that.
Looks like I need to keep an eye out for one of them.
Just ordered myself one of these, noo elec dongles :-)This one was flagged up on the 360Radar fb group a few days ago
