Thanks for the info. I am driving it with 38.4 MHz from an 8642A signal
generator, locked to it's 10 MHz OCXO, not perfect but it has aged pretty
well and it is within 0.1 Hz of 10 MHz. The Wenzel datasheet says nothing
about the phase noise when locked. I will adjust the input level to get the
best phase noise. Can you tell me how far off 100 MHz it is when unlocked?
I am trying to determine if mine is typical or partially broken.

Thanks again,

Mark

[time-nuts] Regarding Wenzel PLO's

[Ulf Kylenfall via time-nuts]

 
We have a couple of them at my work.

5 MHz in, 100 MHz out. The Kvartz HM75-01Hydrogene masers has a 100 MHz output 
but thatport is full of spurs, so we use Wenzel PLO's thatprovides a Clean 100 
MHz signal from the 5 MHzoutput from the maser.
Know then that the Wenzel PLO's are sensitive to the input Power levelof the 
external reference. The datasheet says one thingbut  the phase noise  of the 
locked output signal won't look very good at allif the Reference Power is 
approaching the maximum specified input level...
