Thank you Bruce for your valuable insight. In the past I did spend time on Cesium Standards and with valuable inputs from Corby concerning the FTS tube interface I converted a HP 5062C to a Standard using a FTS tube. I also made other changes like changing to a 10 MHz 10811, the Master Clock

Having built eight of Brooks units, my experience was that the problem was not with the amplifier but the way the RS F/F in the phase comparator II was working in some of the devices. For me they all worked in the oscillator input but some brands did not work properly with the GPS input.

No, you can never improve on what you start out with, I would just eliminate the jitter you may get with the 90's. I would use a 74xx74 because it clocks on the positive edge, the 90's on the negative edge. Looking at Jameco you can get 74xx74 in DIL any where from F to HC. I would not use

In my opinion the best way is still to use two 74xx90 connected divide by five and divide by two. That gives a symmetrical output. That is why you can not use a 390. The A output should subsequently be applied to a D or JK flip flop with the clock input connected to the 10 MHz. The D or JK

I think it is a bad idea except if holdover due to loss of GPS is an issue. For all practical purposes disciplined oscillators make rubidium obsolete because the majority use lower performance cheaper oscillators in their systems. Looking at Corby Dawson's data on oscillators and HP 5065
