[time-nuts] New Rubidium Frequency Standard Group

[EWKehren at aol.com]

My frustration is that there is very little information or discussion as to 
 the performance of the device, ultimately some may want to use it in their 
shop  as thee reference, and to make that possible more performance data 
would be  nice. It may be the best they have.

Staying  on the topic of the thread, I also found the list clogging
up with fixes  for a cheap rubidium device (wouldn't call it a
standard).

Outlook  told me that there were 10,350 messages in the time-nuts
folder since it  was archived at the end of 2010. I used Find for
5680 and got 900 messages,  starting with Feb 2011 warnings about
their frequency errors. Then I used  Select All and Delete to remove
9% of the folder.

How about a new  list for eBay finds that are a waste of money, like
the Lucent XO and Rb 15  MHz boxes? Maybe "time-rats" or "time-junk"

If anyone wants all the FE5580A  mail to go to one place make a filter
in your email reader.  Tell it  to place anything sent from the TN list
with "FE5680" in the header or text  to go into a special folder or
otherwise be tagged as fe5680  related.

I think this happens all the time -- people talk about  whatever is
new.  Eventually $40 fe5680s will not be  new.
