Thanks for the notes on the FS740. I missed it back last November. It looks so user-friendly that I might have to get one. Most SRS stuff is really well done. The question I have is whether it is practical to get to the 10(-13) level with a good Rb and a good GPSDO. The Rb's aging rate is low

I've seen several spec sheets on high end GPSDO's that seem to have performance approaching a low-noise cesium standard, but only cost $3-6$K new. One is the SRS FS740 which appears to combine a GPSDO with the interpolator of the SR620 counter. This gets down below 10(-13) in one day and
