[time-nuts] Looking for good, cheap, external reference

Hi

The 3.0 firmware is one way to make sure you don't get one of the "early"
ocxo's. The later designs certainly worked better. 

I haven't seen any of the original red label ocxo's show up for quite a
while, so they all may be gone by now.

I don't think the firmware on the Tbolt makes much difference in
performance.  (The older firmware even has a couple more features in it).

Units with the 3.0 firmware are newer and have a much greater chance of
having the poor temperature sensor which definitely has a bad effect on
performance.  If I had my choice of two units (both with the good
oscillator)  I'd definitely pick the older one.

-There are several cheaper ones for sale but make sure you get the 3.0
firmware
