This is because rubidium vapour standards are not primary standards. They don't have a "correct" frequency, only a very stable frequency. The actual resonance frequency of a rubidium standard depends amongst other things on the partial pressures inside the physics package. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
