Hi Well I can answer that one.
Sending a 5071 back to Symmetricom and getting a new high performance tube in it is roughly a $35K hit to the old Visa card. The hard part is getting all the shipping doc's filled out for the "ultra hazardous Cs" that you are shipping. You have to go to a class and get a certificate just to fill out the forms…. Perish forbid *anybody* would ever ignore those regulations and carry one on a passenger flight ……. ------------------ Just in case you missed all the previous posts. There isn't enough Cs in a standard to harm much of anything Its so well protected that a drop off a 4 story building won't release any of it. Regardless of all that it's Hazmat.
