I have aquired an FRG-100, and am curious as to wha the option TCXO-4
does, I know that it stabilizes the frequency, but what does that
mean? And so you see a huge difference in the stock stabilizer?
Thank You
TCXO = Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator
It is common shorthand to refer to "crystal" as "xtal" or simply "X"
when used in an acronym.
The device will (usually) operate the xtal element at an elevated
temperature, say 100 degrees F or so, plus or minus a few tenths of a
degree. This stabilizes the crystal frequency to a feww ppm or less.
cheers
