Morning, folks. After much consideration I've decided that I really do need that accurate 1PPS and 10MHz source. Seller flyingbest on eBay is offering those Tbolt/PSU/AA packages for a princely $189. Any gotchas or reasons to not get one of these? TIA, Lee.

I've noticed a U.S. seller on Ebay with 100% positive feedback selling a Thunderbolt package deal that isn't too pricey, actually quite a bit less than the one you mention. Apparently they have several and have been listing them over the last few weeks. the latest item (120576511516) ends in a
