I`d just hang an AC millivoltmeter[or microvoltmeter] across the regulator`s output. I use my H/P 400H, which will give readings down to about 50uV. If your regulator produces less noise than this [say a 723, with 2uV], then you`ll need a more sensitive meter. It might be wise to short the input

Brian, I once obtained a 5060A that was used in the time and frequency lab at HP. I guess it had sentimental value to them as they kept it going long after the 5061B had come out. It had a newer tube in it and more to the point it had one of the later 5061A/B style A11 oven controller modules

You might try Frequency Standards and Services in Colorado Springs for any parts. However installing the 5061A/B A11 Dc Oven Controller into a 5060A may not be simple. Dave - Original Message - From: corby d dawson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: time-nuts@febo.com Sent: Tuesday, January 08,

Hi Bruce and Henk, Your point about Bandwidth is a valid one, and as you say, it depends on the application. The 400H has corner frequencies of about 10Hz, and 4Mhz, so the noise BW is a bit wider than this [Y/N?]. This setup can`t measure noise at very low Frequencies, or Frequencies much

Corby- That's interesting to know that somebody has performed the conversion at least once before. I have a 5060 donor chassis and maybe that would be the one to try and see how I might fit an A11 module in place of the A20. Thanks! -Brian, WA1ZMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL
