My particular thunderbolt seems to be from 2004, so I guess that manual is at or around checked: ThunderBolt[tm] GPS Disciplined Clock User Guide Version 5.0 5.0 is a version of the manual published in 2003 Table C.2.2 Environmental Specifications: Operating Temp: -0°C to +60°C Storage Temp: -40°C to +85°C ... so I guess I shouldn't worry about a few degrees of difference in the reported temp, especially considering that the sensor in question isn't on the OCXO itself. _______________________________________________ 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.
