[time-nuts] FE-5680A Mechanical Question

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I think it's pretty safe to guess that none of these units got reset in the
field. What ever the end application, it just let them free run. Based on
the number or "pps missing" units, I'd also bet it used the dirty 10 MHz
output rather than the pps.

Both of my units came with a stored preset of 0.

Giving the second unit an offset of 0 results in an
84 second period for a 360 degree phase procession
relative to a Thunderbolt's 10 MHz output.  Call it
100 instead of 84 and we get 1e-9.  Measure the
distance to the Moon within a foot or two.
