Chris,
I didn't see that anyone had answered your question about the XO unit
running by itself.  Yes, the XO unit is or was a hot standby for the
rubidium unit.  So it had to be able to function if there was a failure of
the primary unit.
Have you found the hook-up cable drawings on KO4BB's web site?

Chris,
The RFTGm ("m" for miniature even though still a large box) is a later

version of the RFTG line.  The XO unit houses the GPS receiver which is
essential for disciplining.  Both boxes operate at 24 VDC and there is an
interface cable drawing on line at KO4BB's web site. Never tried to hook
them up together, but it might work.  Maybe others here may know.  Good
luck with it.

Hi Everyone,

I have two Lucent RFTG boxes in my workshop. The XO is a loaner.
I'm curious if they will interface with each other or (most likely)
they are a different series as the interface connectors on each have
a different number of pins.
One is marked RFTG-u REF 0
The other is RFTGm-II-XO

Thanks in advance.
