The RFG units were manufactured I believe by Frequency Electronics Inc www.freqelec.com. You should be able to pull data from their web site on the Rbs.

I occasionally see some RFTG models which I believe has a GPS built in. But recently someone has been selling a lot of RFG models (no GPS). RFG-RB: 150069811211 - $125/$130 BIN RFG-XO: 150067596617 - $30/$40 BIN Originally the first run they sold of the Rb's they were going for $20 each! I guess they wised up doing a little research and raised the price, but even at $130 they are selling pretty steady. >From what I read these are/were used in portable cellular stations, and the XO was typically disciplined off the Rb. The info from the front panel they gave me was as follows: WP-92066L9 RFG-RB PLUGS - INTFC, ALARM, +24V, 15MHZ OUT, 10 MHZ RF OUT, TP. WP-92066L10 RFG-XO PLUGS - INTFC, ALARM, +24v, 15MHZ OUT, 10 MHZ IN. I couldn't find any sort of info online about these, hopefully someone here can enlighten us. :) > >Second, since just about any of these type items on eBay are sold 'as-is', > >what is a reasonable price for some of these things?
