Hey Thanks for the reply, I have 2 uses for the GPSDO, ref clock for NTP server or 10mhz ref clocks for the labs.

If I find one is not suitable for one task, I can try it on another.

I have built a few GPSDO and regularly change oscillators, so I have a good idea about the circuitry and performance.

Having said that it gets very hard to approach a professionally designed unit.

Actually, I am toying with the idea of 3 separate Thunderbolts connected to NTPD using thunderbolt drivers. Each of the Trimble's will use a separate antenna (3 active antenna cost less than a splitter, go figure)

But I am beginning to ask myself why?! Isn't it good enough already?

A long-time data collection? I can test an HP58503A (I think it is the
Z3801A), I have the Z3815A and the TBolt. Of course I need time to test...
