That's only about the third unit I've ever even heard of. They seem to be rarer than hen's teeth these days. All the more reason to kick myself for giving back the one I borrowed around Hallowe'en 1990 or so to compare it with my GC-1000 and watch Daylight Saving Time end for the year. It did

No the oscillator frequency determining delay line is a microstrip line on a ceramic substrate. The coax delay lines are used for not critical delays in the delay line vco start and stop On Saturday, July 04, 2015 05:20:45 PM paul swed wrote: Matthias I am afraid I am not much help here.

The problem is that the whole VCO is packaged. The connections from the VCO to the outside world are fairly simple: -5,2 Volt, a bias for the buffer amplifier, the tuning voltage and the start/stop line. The start/stop line is tied to gnd with 2.2 µH, so even if the start/stop circuit woud

Matthias OK my diagrams show traditional parts like ecl gates. To Bruces comment that the delay line is not coax. Makes sense. But I have never had to get to the level you will need. It is odd that two do not work. But interpolators are funny things and its possible both are on some edge. Not to
