Charles,

Is there any model-suffix or other identifier that would inform whether a used PRS-10 has the PPS sync input feature??

NOTE if you are buying a used PRS10:  Like many oscillator products, 
the PRS10 has been sold in numerous "special" versions (with specific 
features as ordered by the OEM customers).  Many of these special 
versions do NOT have the PPS sync input feature.

Best regards,

Charles
