I've got a more basic question than that. What are external, GPS synched  freq standards used for?
 
Do I need one for my K1 ??
 
Seriously, I haven't a clue.

You don't.  Don't worry.  It's mostly bragging rights for HF transceivers.
It's about 6 decimal orders of magnitude more accuracy than you need.
I have a bunch, but managed to score well enough to get my call printed in the QST Frequency Measuring Test by using WWV to set my K3.

What are the advantages / disadvantages of this type of frequency standard
ver the Efratom LPRO-101 which is a rubidium standard?
