[time-nuts] Chooses for a desktop/server NTP external 1PPSreference

[John Ackermann N8UR]

Even though I finally got the actual ribbon cable used to interconnect 
the -XO and -RB boxes, I was never able to get mine to actually act as 
though it was disciplined.  I suspect that either the XO or the Rb 
free-run frequency was far enough off that it never locked up, but I ran 
out of time (or rather, other more interesting things came along) and I 
haven't checked that theory out.
