With regard to two GPSDOs, it is an interesting experiment. I have two Tbolts, both 2.2 firmware, both fed from the same antenna, both with factory default settings, and I see differences. They are about 2 feet apart on my bench and everything is pretty stable, +/- 20 nS or so until the heat kicks

Unless I copied the number incorrectly earlier it does seem likely that Ebay has pulled that auction. It may still be showing up to those who "bought" them but a straight search on that number returns nothing, either in completed or running listings, nor does it show up now in searches for
