[time-nuts] KS-24361 REF-0 standalone

[Graham]

Bob,

I would like that information too please and thank you.

I have a pair that is working quite well and I also have a second REF-0 
that I want to start testing but just haven't got round to it yet to 
figure out what is needed.

cheers, Graham ve3gtc
