[time-nuts] Truetime Time server NTS-100 Downconverter infowanted

[phil]

Don,
I understand this gentleman has the NTS-100, it's gps, we have a several of 
them. I have seen Truetime "downconverters" on ebay where they didn't know 
or state what it was for, but in reality it was for the old goes truetime 
receivers.
That's what I meant about being careful what you buy on ebay.
Phil
