The PRS-10 does have disciplining parameters that you can tweak.  But the documentation is rather spotty on how to go about choosing good values.

Also, I doubt that putting a Rb in an OCXO Lucent box would work well.  Rb loop parameters (like time constant) are rather different for the two classes of oscillator.


the disciplining loop seems to be a bit aggressive so that the poor oscillator

gets jerked around quite a bit by the GPS

Based on all the input I think I am going to just save up my mad money for a Cesium and be done with it.  (Doubt I’ll ever be “done with it”).

I once did make a token attempt at tweaking the disciplining parameters in
that SRS-10, but seemed to be getting nowhere and gave up on the effort.
