The telecom "stratum-2" definition is defined to match a free-running Rb. (S1 = Cs, S3 = OCXO) Remember that for CDMA and telecoms in general, the phase is not relevant, only the frequency stability which has different short and long term requirements (Eyepatterns, vs. jitter-propagation). I don't know what stratum level CDMA base stations require, but S2 is not unlikely. -- 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
