Even though I finally got the actual ribbon cable used to interconnect
the -XO and -RB boxes, I was never able to get mine to actually act as
though it was disciplined. I suspect that either the XO or the Rb
free-run frequency was far enough off that it never locked up, but I ran
out of time (or rather, other more interesting things came along) and I
haven't checked that theory out.

Friends,
Whatever happened to those Lucent RFTD-m- XO and RB boxes?
IIRC:
1. There were no manuals.
2. The output was 15 MHz (trivial to fix with a diagram).
3. The boxes had to be connected (ditto).
I bought two pairs, but I'm still using the 3801A pair for a GPS time
reference because I don't have to do anything to make it work. Ah, well,
there was the summer project to repair the RG-8 connections to the cone
antennas.
Were the Lucent boxes a flash in the pan?
