I did not see my correction for the missing URL posted on the list, so will repost it now. Sorry if this results in a repeat message in your mailbox. Go to this web site and download the original QST article for a GPS based frequency standard (originally published in QST, July 1998). The software in the PIC has filtering to stop glitches upsetting the VCO which is locked on to the satellite. This sounds like the sort of filtering software you are after. You may be able to get him to supply you with the source code, which you may well be able to cut and paste into your application. This time I will try putting the web address in http://www.rt66.com/~shera/
