Hi Alexander, Robert,
 
need to set the record straight: sorry, but there is no need to spend $3000 
 for a new GPSDO.
 
The FireFly-1A starts at less than $600 single piece qty, new with  factory 
warranty and support.
 
Add $80 or so for GPSCon and you will have an SNTP server. Or free when  
using Linux NTP through support for a 1PPS at RS-232 level built-in.

If you are looking for a desktop unit, the Fury GPSDO's start at around  
$1250 for a desktop unit...
 
bye,
Said
