Hi,

STA-61 what a rare bird this is! I have one too that came out of Japan for under 200 EU...  I'm guessing it might have been a demo unit as well.
Any idea what these sold for???
What I did manage to find after several years searching...  was the Instruction Manual PDF, and WanderView app. Maybe make a deal on (FREE???) input module???

Looks a lot like the outer shell of a Calnex Sentinel - maybe some common history there?

Seems like this one have been riding on the "BitCoin Wave price" , compared to your €200

yeah the companies are similar. It was the same product at first, and Calnex has improved it a lot. I think Spectracom did not know how to market this piece, and ended up selling it off to Calnex. Not sure if Calnex is doing a lot better with the concept. Portable Clock System tester. It does ADEV (and many other) graphs very easily, which is what I have been playing with.

I've been working with Spectracom on developing the original concept. I've heard that Deutsche Telekom was using it to calibrate cellular base stations in field. Price of 200eur for a demo from Toyo was a great deal. GPS module inside was worth 100usd from Trimble and Rb osc much more from SRS. 🙂
