One of my first programming projects was a RCA 1802 micro replacement for a ware-able Holter monitor. The idea was to record a series of 8 second strips and assign a value of how important they were. This value was used to decide which ones to save for later viewing. The area under the curve

I picked up two of these units and they were a very good deal. Don, thanks for finding and reporting them. I wish I had picked up a few more of them. Inside, there is a four output switching supply with +/-12 and +/-5 volts. If it were possible to cut away some of the main board that includes

I haven't looked any further but the daughter boards in the unit have 75 ohm resistors which I'm guessing determines the input/output impedance of the unit. If that's the case it should be easy to switch it to 50 ohms although it may not make any real difference. -Arthur

Arthur the video equipment is 75 ohms. This is time-nuttery after all so they do make a difference. Small. But I will never change my 75 ohm resistors out not worth the time and effort by the way I also use 75 ohm cable for Freq distro. But if someone really has nothing better to do then sure

Hi Be careful with the BNC connectors on those switches. 75 ohm BNC's aren't the same as 50 ohm connectors. The inner contact is different enough that they don't always play well together. Bob -Original Message- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On

I've been known to just stack a 150 Ohm 1% chip resistor on top of a 75 Ohm chip resistor to bring the result down to 50 Ohms. Beats having to 1) remove the old part, 2) clean up the pads, then 3) get the new one soldered down. Bob L. From: Arthur Dent

Good point Bob the 75 ohms are smaller in diameter. I use 75 ohm connectors. The 50 into a 75 hole spreads the jack. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 4:16 PM, Bob Camp li...@rtty.us wrote: Hi Be careful with the BNC connectors on those switches. 75 ohm BNC's aren't the same as 50

In general, no, they are not. The connector pins for modern 75ohm BNC's are exactly the same part as for modern 50 ohm BNC's. The BNC gets the higher impedance inside of the connection area by removing most of the inner dielectric. The real problem child, in general, is the female 75 ohm N

Hi Chuck, some early 75R BNC designs did use a smaller diameter center contact. The 75R male can make intermittent contact when used with a worn or top of limit 50R female. The 75R female can be damaged for use with the small contact male if used with a 50R or large contact 75R male. The do
