Not quite what you are looking for, but I implemented a pair of thunderbolts 
with no common parts (dual antennas power etc) into a simple RF switch.
The production manager flipped the switch on Mondays, and if either system 
wasn't working I had a third system in a box ready to replace.
So for any failure of the two live systems, all he had to do was flip the 
switch and call me.

Subject: [time-nuts] 10 MHz 'failover' switch?

Hello,

Looking for recommendation for a ‘failover’ or ‘redundant’ switch for 10 MHz 
distribution.

        Not really sure of the correct term.
        Something that sensed RF on primary 10 MHz, and then switched to 
secondary on fail of primary.

A brief search showed several very nice $$$ items, suitable for commercial 
applications, but I wonder if there are some “last year’s” (but not last 
century) versions that would work for a home lab.

Context:

I have a GPSDO and a Rb source of 10 MHz.  
The power supply on the GPSDO failed (worked enough to light up the GPSDO, but 
not enough to lock).
I have a new power supply on order, but would be nice to have “insurance”.

Thanks in advance for the group bandwidth.
