[time-nuts] Looking for TimePod 5330A for purchase or rental

[Bob Camp]

It was my impression that the Symmetricom device and the Miles device were identical in performance / capabilities. The issue with the Symmetricom device is that you unlock features on a "cost per feature" basis. If there are other capability limits past that, that's very bad news.
