Hi Actually there *is* a reason for all the posts. This stuff comes onto the market very rarely. It *is* legitimate Time Nut gear. While it’s here at a low price it’s worth letting people know about it. The Z3801’s were a cheap item once upon a time (like $150 or so). The TBolt’s were sub $70 i

The 58503A we got have much better ADEV and PN than what was posted recently on the Lucent boxes. TVB has many plots of the Z3801A on his website - same box. They used to be $399 on eBay, now likely $500 or more, but you get what you pay for.. Sent From iPhone > On Nov 27, 2014, at 16:14, Bob

Hi Let’s say that an OCXO based new part is $500. Who knows if that applies to the Furry. If it does, that’s a really good price. Anything below that and Santa Claus is coming to your house early. Are you putting this in a commercial system? Do you expect to need warranty support? I’d bet th

We have a number of these upgraded units from China, ours have the double oven 10811 and they are awesome. Great ADEV and great PN and very little spurs. In fact we use them as house standards for our TimePod and TSC5125A. They are upgraded to a nice desktop case and the 58503A firmware. They m

Hi Price wise, there is only one solution worth looking at: Get one of the nice new in box Lucent KS GPSDO’s. At the moment they are priced below the TCXO based new parts. That will not be true for very long. > On Nov 27, 2014, at 5:08 PM, Dr. David Kirkby (Kirkby Microwave Ltd) > wrote: > >

There's a seller on eBay selling what he says is Z3801A upgraded to 58503A. One or two things have made me a bit suspicious of that seller - nothing to do with his GPS things. Does anyone know what he does? He also have an 58503A, but that's a couple of hundred $'s more than an upgraded Z3801A. I'
