Have we settled the question of whether or not the RB can be dominated (no, that's not it) disciplined by an external 1 PPS or 10 MHz signal? If it can, I'd load up on Rb units and discipline them with a modern GPS receiver - or maybe replace the OXCO in Z3801s. Bill Hawkins Z3801s do dissipate

If you get the Rb unit by itself, all you have is an Rb oscillator; it depends on the XO unit for GPS. So, if I were to get only one, I'd get the XO. John Richard W. Solomon said the following on 02/01/2007 05:47 PM: > If you had a choice between the Rb unit and the XO unit, which would you

If you had a choice between the Rb unit and the XO unit, which would you pick ? I am told the Rb units have a design life of 10 years and I don't know how old the e-Bay units are, but is it better than the XO units ? Decisions, decisions. Which one to get. Thanks for any advice. 73, Dick, W1KSZ
