Hi John, well, I think he must have meant a new car back in 1971 :) That would be about right. It's not quite THAT expensive. Symmetricom seized to exist as an independent company a couple of days ago, they were bought out by MicroSemi.. They do make great products, for sure. Please note that I do not think that the NIST CSAC effort had much to do with the commercialized Symmetricom product. Same funding, but competing groups I think. NIST never took it to commercial grade. bye, Said In a message dated 11/4/2013 18:20:24 Pacific Standard Time, j...@westmorelandengineering.com writes:
Said, Yes - Ha! In the video, KF5OBS does say something like the price of a new car. I have a very wide variance for what that could be - a Scion xB, Viper, Rolls Royce Bentley..., Ha! Great video - and thanks for letting us know about it. I actually went to the NIST chip scale site the other day - very interesting stuff. And, I am glad you guys are taking on such a technically ambitious project. It would appear Symmetricon is a great company to work with. Best Regards, John W.
