Have you had luck steering the PRS10 with GPS? One individual mentioned
to me that despite repeated efforts, he was unable to discipline the
PRS10 without significantly degrading the short-term stability and phase
noise.

However, if the performance as reported by SRS isn't just for some
impossible, ideal environment than one solution would just be to
replicate the circuitry they use for the loop filter and divider to
generate the 10 MHz PPS signal. Or, to just purchase the FS740.
