It would be nice to have a primary frequency standard around here. We
have a rubidium, but that's not technically primary, and we'd like to
check it anyhow. And we do have a huge ole HP cesium, but you damn
near need a PhD to operate it.

Has anybody used a GPS standard? Any comments or recommendations?

I've been using a retired HP Z3801 here for many moons. Great unit,
makes a fine reference for my service monitor and anything else I may
need 10MHz for.

They still turn up on greed-bay periodically, as do others. If you
happen to get hold of a GPS-referenced clock, many of them have
disciplined 10MHz outputs as well.

Happy hunting.
