Hi David:

For me the key benefit of the SR620 is the 16 digit display. That implies a lot of digits in the reference (although not all 16 of them) so I always use an external reference.

When I turn the PRS-10 upside down the crystal changes frequency and the Rb 
corrects the crystal, see:

Hi Brooke

If you look just to the right of the SR620 you will see a separate box that
contains the PRS10.
Ah, I missed that!!!

I was thinking it fitted inside the SR620, but obviously not.

The PRS10 can work as either a Rb GPSDO or as a time stamping device.  For
the SR620 any GPSDO would make a good external reference.
It would have been nice to have a better reference inside, as
sometimes I move equipment around, and don't always want to take more
than necessary, so having a better reference inside would have been a
nice thing, but I see it is not what I thought.

This unit I purchased has the option 01, the ovenized VCXO, but of
course that is not going to have the long-term stability of a Rb
source.

I see one of the SR625 add-ons on eBay,

but it does not look in good condition, so I'm not paying $700 for it.
