Hi Bruce,
With a 1s gate time it ranges from 9.999 999 996 to 10.000 000 012 MHz  
The 5335 with a 1s gate time gives 10.00000101 with the last digit 
flickering 0.   Of course what's really bad is I have two clocks to 
check now.  The std deviation  as measured by the 5370 of the 5370 clock 
is ~1.8 kHz while the std dev of the 5335 clock is 7.8 kHz - both have 
10811 OCXOs.. The 5335 measures the 5370 clock  std dev as 4.35mHz.  I 
think I'll have to check these against the Rb as I don't have a GPSDO yet. 

Thanks

Tim
