This might work if all you are concerned with is the 10MHz.  If the 1PPS from
the Rb is to be used, it will come up at some random phase after the unit is
powered off and back on.

I have not done the power off - restart test to see how close the 10MHz
recovers.  Not sure I have anything that could measure it.  Maybe it is time to
order a 2nd Rb :-).
