[time-nuts] Problem with HP 8656A 50 Mhz reference oscillator

2008-09-23 Thread Scott McGrath
I am having a problem with the 50 Mhz reference oscillator as it generates a frequency of 47.5 to 49.995 Mhz depending upon setting of R110. Q9 is dissipating excessive power and is hot to the touch A9 collector bias is at 11.5 instead of the proper 11.0 and emitter bias is at -.65V.base i

I'm interested in a related item - ROM images for a later version of the firmware than I have in my 5371A. Quite a few features were added in the late releases; I have an early set of ROMs in my otherwise-pristine unit. If anyone has uploaded them in any of the common programmer form

Yikes - just bought ten Lucent RFG-RB on ebay! Almost immediately got an DHL notify that "the goods are on their way". So I guess this is my somewhat crazy leap entry into the world of time nuts and my wife already agrees wholeheartedly. (Gotta get a shadow account for those dubious eBay purc

Bill,   Try a jumpers on the RS232 cable 4 to 5 and 6,8,20 together. If you have a RS232 break out box you could put it between the PC and GPSDO to see which levels change when the program is running.   Stanley N4IQT - Original Message From: Bill Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Discus

Hello Andrew, unfortunately I am not sure what you mean by Sat signal/code frequency. The local STB PLL generated 27MHz on the video signal will be derived from, and locked to the PCR time stamp inside the MPEG stream of the broadcaster. The broadcaster will likely use an in-house frequen

Yes, with the jumpers in place it may not matter if the program is running or not, place the jumpers on the GPSDO RS232 connector and you may even be able to disconnect the PC end of the cable.   The other posibilty is some type of watchdog timer that is looking for data from the PC if that is t
