Highlights
Quality
Gave four stars only because on mine the frequency was barely adjustable.
I used the sine wave output to clock a salvaged and repaired hp8595e spectrum analyzer that had the ovenized option.
Gps-disciplined rubidium and ocxo timing standards are used and all instruments are calibrated off of these standards.
The cure i found was to short r3 and turn the variable resistor until it reads 0 ohms to ground.
Price
This unit uses a very costly ocxo that i bet is a pull from some old gps timing standard.
For less than 20 dollars, i suspect the value is unbeatable.
But anybody who might need something like this knows you don't get rock-solid precision like that for 20 bucks.

The problem with this unit seems to be the tuning range provided by r5 frequency calibration
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The range is not enough to bring this unit into calibration but there is an easy fix for this with a small downside
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I also rotated the part 180 degrees as to make clockwise rotation increase the frequency

The down side to using a 500k vs 200k is that the tuning adjustment will be more touchy
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However this is a 20 turn pot vs the 10 turn they used so it should work out the same
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The output of the oscillator is 6dbm as i have 12 db of attenuation on the output

The power draw was about 800ma at startup and under 200ma after warmup at 9 volts input
