To TBolt nuts
A Tbolt that has been modified to use an external 10 MHz osc is all that is
needed to be able to measure freq and aging of an Rb osc to better than
1e-14 using a week long test run.
Attached is a plot showing a recent 13 day long LPRO Rb test I did.
This modified LPRO showed an unbelievable average ageing rate of only
2e-15/day over the first 12 days.
Of course anytime you get much below 1e-13 for a non Cs osc, it has some
luck evolved.
But still interesting that using ONLY a Tbolt and LadyHeather one is able to
measure freq that accurately.
(Can do even better using Dual Tbolts. Used to cancel the shorter term GPS
phase noise)

I know this is pretty boring stuff compared to all the neutrino speed and
Lightsquared OT subjects,
but I'll include it anyway because this is after all a Time and Freq forum,
or at least it use to be, and a few have asked me how to use a TBolt to test
their Rb.
