[time-nuts] Sneaky Errors

[J. L. Trantham]

As Hal says and as in instrument flying, three independent sources of data
before reaching a conclusion.  If one disagrees, throw it out.

A third source is in order.  A third TBolt, an LPRO-101 adjusted to and
compared regularly to each TBolt, or another GPSDO of another flavor.  Also,
a CS unit that can be turned on or off to compare.
