And faster speedometers make your warranty run out faster, which nobody
except the car companies like.

Hi Tom:
Or, certifiable that it was reading low getting you out of a ticket.
The judge told me I could use this only once.

Accurate enough so that if its reading matches the posted sign, you
don't receive a ticket?

No. Details like that does not comes into play. If the quality of the
gear does not match the specs, the manufacturer gets a serious problems
so
I wonder if companies don't junk equipment because "electrolytic capacitors
last years not decades" Does this make sense?

I suppose a good comparison would be: How accurate does the
speedometer in the car really need to be and why.

A statement of accuracy is of little value unless you also give:
1) An estimate of the accuracy of standard used for comparison.
2) An estimate of the random and systematic errors in the comparison
3) Some details of the comparison method.
4) Averaging time and other pertinent info.

It's not junk.
What are you interested in? Short term stability or long term accuracy?
I'd expect the GPSDO to be more accurate over the long term, but probably
wobble around slightly at a time scale of a few seconds as the "D" tries to
keep things on target. An equivalen
OK thanks, I couldn't find the link for the thunderbolt. The Agilent manual
states the best it's LO is <1 X E-10, (I think). I was just thinking
expensive test equipment that was recently calibrated versus junk GPSDO that I
salvaged from telco equipment.
