Thanks for all the suggestions I have a lot to think about - still learning. I bought the FRK for several reasons including wanting a stable calibrated frequency standard - to check my ocxos against. I work in distributed simulation (human-in-the-loop and faster than real-time) and when working with people across the world (USA, UK) we all have to have the same time - otherwise the game play isn't good. We have used a gps ntp system which is great until no gps - I want to use the FRK as a hold over. But, also I would like to have one instrument at least in my home lab that is calibrated!! This will I hope give me an accurate time piece to drive my other instrument from e.g. frequency generators, counters, DSO etc. I have been reading all the web sites you've sent and I'm very impressed - gotta love the internet - otherwise we'd be lonely time-NUTS. I have to thank Dave I think - the guy with the gas back-up power supply for the bunker of time equipment - my girlfriend now accepts my small room of stuff as acceptable rather than taking up too much room! I'm amazed at what is available on eb*y in the US. A lot of the time the shipping to AUS is too high - but I would have no money if I lived over there - and the best home lab ever :) For a comparison - check eb*y.com.au - very little will be found.
