[time-nuts] LPRO-101 with Brooks Shera's GPS locking circuit

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Brendan:

It's interesting that the PRS10 can time stamp the 1 PPS input with a 
resolution of 10 ns.  I wonder how they do that.

When I picked up my PRS10 at the factory during the tour I learned that 
the 10 MHz oscillator in the PRS10 was an improved version of the SC10.  
There's an Allan plot for the PRS10 at:

http://www.thinksrs.com/assets/instr/PRS10/PRS10diag2.htm  <- Just the plot

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
