I forgot to mention that it can be removed nicely with hot air, and has the very nice property that you can solder things that are coated just in case you should make a misteak. it is soft. I did not know the epsilon or tand. Don On 2021-11-11 17:49, Lux, Jim wrote: On 11/11/21 4:00 PM, djl

I've used, wait for it, beeswax as a potting compound. Gouda cheese comes coated with it (some has paraffin, get the best,) in a lovely red. I also found out some years ago that Catholic churches use pure beeswax for large (not votive) candles and may give you the stubs. Nice, clean white.

Hi, I strongly recommend the HP AN200 series of application notes. Having those alongside Enricos slides is a good start for those new in the field. There is one variant of averaging which is used in the HP5328A/B counters that is described there that is not covered in Enrico Rubiolas

Gerhard, May I have a copy of the Gerbers for the Doubler-Distribution amp? I started designing a PCB for the board myself, but if you could send me a copy of your files, surely would save me a ton of time and work. Thanks for your willingness to share your work. DaveM Hazel Green, AL, USA

You seem to have gone to extraordinary lengths to trap out each unwanted product, yet the final spectrum shows only -50dBc products. That seems a poor return for that effort in filter design. I made a 5MHz doubler plus distribution for my HP5061. You can see the design at
