I don't think the rubidium module for these systems can be disciplined. I think they were only intended as a backup if the XO section or GPS failed. The XO section does discipline but I don't know the details. I'm not sure of the model number, Lucent had several variations on the same theme

Hi So your Rb is 0.71 ppb off frequency. That's far enough that's it's worth adjusting. You should be able to get it 10X better than that without a lot of work. Bob On Aug 15, 2013, at 6:02 PM, Alan Kamrowski II ala...@earthlink.net wrote: Hi Rex, I don't think the rubidium module for
