Hi, The LPRO 101 was used in cell phone systems to provide a stand-by frequency source when the GPS was unavailable. As systems are made obsolete large numbers of units are being recycled through the amateur world. They are cheap because there are more LPRO units than time-nuts and so are in excess supply. This situation may not last forever. The spec. sheet and manual is widely available, try http://www.tenmhz.com/LPRO.htm
The unit is compact, requires only a small power supply, and is very stable.
