My frustration is that there is very little information or discussion as to
the performance of the device, ultimately some may want to use it in their
shop as thee reference, and to make that possible more performance data
would be nice. It may be the best they have.

Staying on the topic of the thread, I also found the list clogging
up with fixes for a cheap rubidium device (wouldn't call it a
standard).
Outlook told me that there were 10,350 messages in the time-nuts
folder since it was archived at the end of 2010. I used Find for
5680 and got 900 messages, starting with Feb 2011 warnings about
their frequency errors. Then I used Select All and Delete to remove
9% of the folder.
How about a new list for eBay finds that are a waste of money, like
the Lucent XO and Rb 15 MHz boxes? Maybe "time-rats" or "time-junk"

If anyone wants all the FE5580A mail to go to one place make a filter
in your email reader. Tell it to place anything sent from the TN list
with "FE5680" in the header or text to go into a special folder or
otherwise be tagged as fe5680 related.
I think this happens all the time -- people talk about whatever is
new. Eventually $40 fe5680s will not be new.
