Re: [time-nuts] 3GHz prescaler for Pendulum counters

Hi Arthur Thanks for the feedback, that's an interesting find and obviously something to keep in mind. As you know Pawel originally designed the prescaler for the CNT85/PM6685, although in earlier Ebay listings he did comment that it also worked for the CNT80/PM6680, and taking a look at

I went to Collins soldering school in the late 1960's. I also learned to tie the special Collins-knot for wrapping wires into neat cable bundles for airplanes, and still remember how to do both. I also built a 6-digit clock using TTL chips and nixie tubes in the early 1970's. Looked great and

A mentor of mine did airplane wiring during WW II. They initially used cable lacing that was likely similar to your Collins method. What they found was a machine gun bullet that penetrated the airframe caused more damage due to the laced cable bundles. At some point the changed to just laying

Hi Which counter would be best for use with time pod I have a chance to buy each at a reasonable prices i.e. < 1000 US Thanks in advance Scott Content by Scott Typos by Siri ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to

Re: [time-nuts] PM6680 or 53131A for TimePod

Hi I guess the first question would be - If you have a Time Pod, what do you need a counter for? Based on a guess that you need extended frequency range, either would do pretty well. My vote would go to the HP for a couple of reasons: 1) It’s more broadly supported in terms of driver software

Re: [time-nuts] modern electronics education/jobs

And don't wipe your soldering iron on your wash-and-wear fatigues as we used to do with the cotton ones. Al, k9si And I agree, don't solder in the nude or while wearing shorts, and don't walk barefoot in your workshop. ___ time-nuts mailing

Re: [time-nuts] PM6680 or 53131A for TimePod

Thanks Bob I'm using the actual time pod for paying activities. This would be a counter for time nuttery using the time pod software. In those cases Where I don't want to fire up the 5071. I'm familiar with the Keysight counters and I have a lot of them into the high Ghz ranges The 53131

Re: [time-nuts] PM6680 or 53131A for TimePod

More of a slip as I've noted I have a time pod for work but I'd like to add a small counter for time nuttery as power is not cheap in NE so running the 5371A for long runs can get expensive Content by Scott Typos by Siri > On Nov 15, 2015, at 4:08 PM, Chris Caudle
