Hello Paul, thanks much for the feedback! Yes, we think we have identified a nice combination of oscillators, GPS, and firmware that seems to work pretty well. The GPSTCXO units cannot be compared to a lower cost $150 Thunderbolt in terms of phase noise or stability of course, and they have CMOS 10MHz outputs, but then the TB's cost around $1500 new I guess. We think the GPSTCXO's and LC_XO type units will work quite well wherever standard OCXO's are used today, and power/size/weight are an issue.

Said I have to say I was looking through the list of modules that are available. I guess a couple of things really jump out. The low power consumption and what you get in terms of behaviors. It is pretty amazing actually. Though I have my power sucking Tbolt and 3801. But I could easily see for a Amateur radio operator just getting into time nuttery that these might be a nice way to go. I guess that would open an interesting debate. Getting the used RBs at Hamfest of questionable quality for $200 or far less. Or something modern and simply works.
