Some background:

The last Revison B hardware shipped in 2008.   It used a GPS module
manufactured by Sony, which output a sync pulse regardless of it's lock
status.   Because of changes to the GPS constellation since 2008, these
modules have a significantly lower likelihood of having an actual GPS lock,
so there is a very good chance you are effectively not GPS synchronized at
that site.    As a result, I would NOT recommend using a revision B pipe in
a live network unless you are absolutely certain it has a GPS lock, and
maybe not even then.

We went through several revisions of syncpipes between revision B being
retired in 2008 until we released revision H hardware in 2011.  That's been
long enough ago that I'm not sure which revision caused us to switch to the
current GPS module manufacturer (or more accurately away from the Sony
modules, and possibly the other supplier of modules we had for a short
time), but revision H or later is definitely safe.  If someone really needs
me to figure this out I will.
