Hi

By far the coolest part about the “normal” TBolt is the extensive work done diving into it
by a whole bunch of folks on the list. Lady Heather support is one example of this. 

Unlike most GPSDO’s, the TBolt from the “turn of the century” allows you to modify the
control loop parameters. You can (and folks very much do) optimize it for whatever 
sort of stability goal you happen to have. That said, an OCXO can only get you just
so far. A Rb based GPSDO is going to win in certain use cases.
