Ebay has several Symmetricom, Microsemi, Datum, Spectracom, and even
Agilent solutions for prices from a few hundred US$ to a couple of
thousand US$. Even something like the Agilent Z3801, Z3805, or Z3816
can be found for a few hundred US$. New, these things are in the
$10,000+ territory. About the same range as mid-range ethernet gear.
I like our SSU2000, personally.
