Hmm this sounds like YAP! (yet another project). I've have 6 HP5517B's (new
version of the 5501B) who output are to low to use. Yet they will phase lock.

Scale this up to 4.

It seems like three 5501s, optical splitters/joiners and a fairly normal
counters should allow for a three-cornered hat and then should the Allan
variance and friends be possible to measure.
