Hi

At this point there is no “proof” that the non-GPS REF-0 will run by it’s self. 
My guess is that it will operate on it’s own with faked GPS messages. 

Since the REF-0 has a 10 MHz output, there is less need to immediately change 
around the 15 MHz output. 

The power brick would be a bit complicated to remove. It’s a triple output unit.
