The XO unit is different from the one in your message title (RB has an 
LPRO rubidium inside). I don't have an XO unit but I think it is the one 
that has a GPS receiver inside. I don't think I ever heard of anyone 
getting either the RFG or RFTG to work in their original configurations, 
(interconnected with the other units.)

I think the output they make is 15 MHz derived from the internal 10 MHz. 
Maybe some of them have 10 MHz output too.

There was lots of discussion about these a while back. You might try 
going here:

and do some searches. (Say RFG, RFTG and maybe LPRO if you have the RB.)

For my RFG-RB unit, I decided that most of the internals weren't that 
helpful but the LPRO rubidium could be used with some other circuitry 
driving it.
