I hooked the two rubidiums together just to see what would happen.   It pretty 
much did what I expected... chaos...   the time-nut equivalent of a naughty 
schoolboy putting a microphone up to the speaker of the public address system.  
I't's a tough job, but somebody gotta do it  ;-)


>  No, not really. The rubidium would be the real hold-over clock.

Symmetricom calls the disciplining state where it can't lock to the 1PPS signal 
the "holdover" state.  It's sort of like a GPSDO holdover state.  Their 
discipline firmware does let you set the time constant and damping values.  I 
tried a little playing around with them, but never found any settings that 
worked consistently well with the LEA-5T.
