[Hackrf-dev] Current, reasonably priced external clock?

I use patched hackrf_transfeer that support ppm correction.

Works just fine with gps spoofing.

The good news is that the HackRF can actually be calibrated via software to increase the accuracy enough to fool _most_ GPS devices.  Check out Wang Kang's "kalibrate" for HackRF, it should help you get up and running.  Again, this will work for most GPS devices; phones can be a bit trickier since they also use triangulation and crowd-sourced Wifi mapping to establish location.

Check out Takuji Ebinuma's TCXO modification- it's a part of his gps-sdr-sim project, which you can use for the actual spoofing.  I've made this modification to my hackRF and it works great!  I do have a portapack, however, and had to solder directly to the bottom of the board.  It still fits in the case :)

Potentially to make a HackRF/Pineapple/TXCO clock combo that could run on the 12v of a car after I stuff it in the dashboard out of sight.  Maybe even with a cell phone/CAM+OBDii add-on for remotely fiddling with car telemetry.  It would be hilarious to prank someone so their car shuts down whenever they get near the local police department and then have their in-car GPS tell them they were at Starbucks or something.  (white hat PoC of course, no I would never actually do this to anyone  in production except maybe myself in an empty parking lot for yucks)

The description claims to output a 1ppm 10mhz source but no info about the tcxo is listed so who knows; I have equipment at work that could measure but don't have the knowledge of setting it up.  If you do opt for this route,  it would be interesting to know if the module works as advertised as I'm still on the fence to buy it .
