[time-nuts] HP5370A vs B version

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

They both run hot and have “interesting” calibration procedures. Count on spending some time running
through this and that to get the best performance out of them. The B does seem to run a bit better, but
both meet the same basic specs.

The SR610 is a very similar device (with some similar calibration procedures). I would go for one of them
rather than the 5370. The 610 seems to be just a little bit easier to keep running. 

If cost is no object ( … as if …) there are indeed a number of devices out there that now do a much better
job than the 610 or the 5370. Finding (say) a TImePod on the used market seems to be a bit rare ….
