That and the fact that the PLL loop parameters can be fiddled over
RS232. Certainly, I'm surprised that the better-grade commercial
GPSDOs don't do it, but I'm downright flabbergasted that time nuts
don't do their DIY projects that way. It's a huge trick to miss.

I'm still waiting for the TAPR buy of such receivers, $250 each fully
checked by someone named Tom....
