And it does NOT say they DON'T use the '838. No where do they mention an '822. They do mention an '838 and the data-sheet they link to is for the '838.

I don’t know if I’d go that far. It’s more than conceivable that the 822A runs the same firmware as the 838 and therefore the actual functionality quoted in the datasheet is met. Frankly, that’s the high order bit here - not what the label on the chip says, but whether it performs the way the datasheet claims. I don’t know because I don’t have one, but at least one poster here has said that the PPS jitter at least is the same. You’ll recall when I pointed out that the NS-T had a different module, I *did* say that just because it wasn’t the same module that didn’t necessarily imply it didn’t have identical functionality. > On Aug 10, 2016, at 7:52 AM, Mark Sims <holrum@hotmail.com> wrote: > > And it does NOT say they DON'T use the '838.
