I wonder why the only (or at least, most of the) GPSDOs one can find on eBay are from China. Is there a reason for that? I would like to buy used GPSDOs and OCXOs from other sources because the stuff from China is often of doubtful pedigree and I would never 100% trust one of those. They often look like they were treated very badly and I have the impression that it is often unqualified personnel who pulls out the GPSDOs from whatever equipment they have there. The same is for Rb standards. I would already have one, but I can only find Chinese sources, so I better keep my money than I buy a Rb standard from which I don't know whether it was treated properly when removed from some electronic equipment.
Having said that I can add that I do have one of those dubious GPSDOs from there; however not the particular model you mentioned. The GPSDO works but I don't know whether it can be trusted. I once compared it to a Trimble Thunderbolt, but I am not sure whether it was the Trimble which was unstable or my own unit. It looks like the seller has made some modifications to it and I don't know why. Also, there is no measurement data available.
