Re: strat-1 gps

I would definitely second this - I have one of these from ages ago and it 
runs great, and the CDMA sourced data means just throwing an antenna at 
the top of the cabinet in the datacenter vs running antenna cabling onto 
the roof for a GPS antenna. I believe I got mine on the secondary market 
for a fraction of the cost you mentioned Randy.

I did have an issue in 2004 with a Verizon base station having a leap 
second setting off or something like that, but after reporting it to 
EndRun they contacted Verizon and had them update it and I don't think 
I've touched it since.
