Hi Nigel,
from what I heard from our customers (I have not had a unit to test myself,
and do not have any comparative data), many if not most of these units
have frequency jumps, and are not nearly as good as the Thunderbolt (which is
quite good, and very well documented in the Time Nuts Archives).
If you plan to buy these new, there is apparently also an issue with
meeting delivery schedules, and having (hand-selected) sample/evaluation units
perform much better than actual mass-production units. One reason why several
of our customers abandoned the Mini-T for our FireFly GPSDO's. Again this
is second-hand information though.
Lastly, these unit's are all built using RoHs lead-free solder without the
option to use the Telecom exemption for leaded solder, so in my opinion
reliability is at best reduced compared to Telecom products still using
leaded solder due to the nasty tin-whiskering problem with RoHs solder.
The above opinions are mine and not necessarily those of my employer :)
Bye,
Said

Hi All
I've been looking through the list archives for anything on the Trimble
Mini-T but have found very little, and what little I have found didn't
come
across as particularly encouraging.
Is anyone currently using these, or has run tests on them, and able to
offer any comments on performance and how they might compare, for example,
to
the Thunderbolt?
regards
Nigel
