[time-nuts] Microsemi versus Spetracom

[Lizeth Norman]

Be aware that the early TS2100's have different (SV6) gps receivers
than the later (ACE III) ones. Both speak TSIP, but some of the
commands are different.

Mine went to the boneyard a few months ago.

They are sending my company a couple now for us to test in a trusted time infrastructure which includes 2 TS2100's. Unfortunately they were not able to get a straight answer from Trimble so experimenting seems to be the only way to find out.
