That's what I figured. A lot of the reference clock stuff seems more or less OEM driven for high-end applications. Take for instance the Garmin 18x LVC which is distributed as an OEM product (almost harware Garmin developer kit). But again, what dictates overall price? I would assume precision but then again, what am I looking for with respect to comparing precision characteristics? Btw, if there is a man page on this, please free to RTFM me! :D -aps _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
