A couple of years ago my wife dropped her digital camera in a parking lot at a wedding we were attending. The camera would turn on, but it complained that there was no memory card. When we got back home, I opened it up to find that a surface mount dual transistor that controls power to the

I am wondering if anyone on the list has any experience using the HP 5359A Time Synthesizer. I have an opportunity to pick up a couple of them but even after reading the 1988 catalog description, am not sure I can get any real use out of them. I did notice that they have a really nice jitter
