Interesting, mine does not have a HP tag, just a dot-matrix printed label with one line. Hopefully by next spring I'll be set up to where I can do some 'real' checking of the the oscillators I have. Thank you for the enlightenment -pete On Wed, Aug 5, 2015 at 8:13 AM, Charles Steinmetz

Pete Always the interesting tid bits. Thats the same double oven in the HP Z3801 I have one that went nuts. What a gooey mess. I set the whole thing on the shelf as a someday project. The Z3801 actually has something besides that as an issue. Regards Paul. WB8TSL On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 12:47 PM,

Mark Posted I laid out a through-hole version of Warren's board in Eagle and had OSHPARK fab up three of them. I sent one to Warren and am using the other two. The one mod I made was to use a single darlington TO-220 instead of the two transistor stage that Warren used. They seem to work quite

Hi, If you search the internet, you should come across a design by Warren S. It's basically the same type of oven controller that is used in the internal oven for that oscillator. I did a surface mount version of his design a while back. I've been running it for quite a while now. IMO it is

Hi The “external” heater on the Z3801 OCXO is only needed if you are regularly running below -20C in your environment. Other than the alarm signal, there is no harm in letting it simply shut off forever. Bob On Aug 2, 2015, at 8:56 AM, tim...@timeok.it wrote: Hi, I have seen, but I do
