Hello all,
I'm somewhat new to the list (long time lurker, first time
poster). I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Brad. I live
in Pennsylvania. Always been interested in electronics of various
types (specifically lasers, high voltage, computer interfacing, and
PIC uC's). Long ago I figured out that for some reason, I have a
fascination with accurate time. I can't explain it, really, since I'm
notouriously late and never plan things out, but yet I love to have
very accurate time... Lol... In any case, back when the market was
flooded with HP Z3801's, I snatched up four of them, along with some
mating antenna's. I've ran a couple of them for several years, and
have used them for my NTP server. I've built a few PIC based clocks
that utilize my 'house standard' outputs from one of my Z3801's as
its reference.
In any case, I am interested in finding some other surplus
telecom type standards... Specifically, units such as:
o HP Z3815A
o HP Z3816A
o Lucent RFG-RB
o Lucent RFG-XO
Where can us time nuts find such units? I'm sure that if I
watched eBay long enough, I might stumble across them, but thus far,
I haven't been successful... Even Z3801A's seem to be few and far
between now... Also, what are reasonable prices for the above type equipment?
If anyone has any leads on where I should be watching for these,
please let me know... I'd like to get a few more standards to experiment with.
Thank you,
Brad
