Wow - only $750 in quantity of 20 or $1k in singles. That's not much more than what you spend putting together your own. By the time you come up with the HP-10811, controller, power supplies and GPS you have come close. So, can I borrow $1k from someone? :)

How big would the sawtooth be for an m12+? Warner The M12+ has a 3x smaller sawtooth; about ±16 ns (9 ns rms) vs. the VP sawtooth which is about ± 52 ns (31 ns rms). See: http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/m12/sawtooth.htm http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/vp/sawtooth.htm /tvb
