[time-nuts] GPS and Rubidium frequency standards and noise question (newbie).

Hi

You should be able to daisy chain a number of devices off of a TBolt. More or less, you run a BNC cable with a bunch of Tee's on it to distribute the signal. The end of the cable should get a 50 ohm load. There are better / fancier / more expensive ways to do it using distribution amplifiers.
