[time-nuts] [Bulk] Hp Family GPS DOs vs. Tbolts Rev 3 SW and Trimble VCXO

[J. L. Trantham]

For a man with two watches, he's not really sure what time it is.......

Sorry.  Couldn't resist.

I like the idea of having multiple GPSO's to compare with each other.  If they all agree, then likely, all are accurate.

The next level would be a CS or other primary standard.

I would favor having three, different, GPSDO's.  If all agree, likely all are accurate.

I just hooked up the Lucent KS-24361 pair, let them 'lock', then compared their 10 MHz TP to a TBolt and they were 'locked'.

I also have a pair of the Lucent RFTG devices that I have yet to 'turn on'.  As best I can tell, the 'interconnect' cable is not a 'straight through' cable like the KS-24361.  Once I have a chance to make a cable, I'll give them a try as well.

Good luck.

Joe

 With all of the discussion of the recent availability of various HP family GPS DO devices, I was wondering if I should get a couple. Presently I have a couple of T-bolts that seem to serve me well. What wold be the advantages gained by going to the HPs. Need 10 MHz output though. Any thoughts?
