What are the stability and accuracy of these devices in parts
per billion (10^12)? For 80 bucks you're not going to get a
rubidium or cesium standard, and zero-beating WWV will only
give you 1 part in 10^7 for a one-second measurement.
(Pardon my cynicism - my former network frequency standard
needed something like 1 part in 10^12 to do the job right.)
