Good to hear the experiment was contagious for you. If you have
additional questions let me know.
Your suggestion about Mount Evans and Pikes Peak are excellent. You will

Corby, what is the easiest way without removing the 10811 from the 5065A that
the 10811 is properly controlling at temperature? Is any measurement
accessible?I've forgotten if the OCXO freq is low or high if the oven is not at

Hi,
The electrical tune (fine control knob) is set to midrange now, at the 250
setting. The mechanical tune (the one in the OCXO itself) is maxed to its limit
and I can't raise it further.
My 5335A has the OCXO option, so if it is compatible, I might be able to do a
swicharoo into the 5065A
Hi
When I last bought 3120A’s they sold for about $15K. The 53100A was in the same
range
before it moved over to Microsemi. One would *guess* the price went up.
The 5120A is (essentially) obsolete at this point. Microsemi shows it in the
“not recommended”
category. I believe the last one we

this appears to be the explanation for the bogus leap second:

Hello,while getting closer to my first really phase noise measurement setup
with a HP 3048a , I cant stop looking at products from this decade. Does anyone
have an idea how much the microsemi products 5120a and 53100a costs? On the
datasheets it looked like made for newbees like me: Press one
Hi
Just to double check.
There is an electrical tune (controlled by the multi turn pot) and a
mechanical adjust on the OCXO. The “that needs repair” judgement
is based on both being adjusted to their “max high” setting *and* you
still being ~40 Hz low.
I doubt that you have 40Hz of range
Jared,
You have to be within .25Hz so yes I'd say that's most likely your
problem!

Hi Jim,
Den 2021-11-28 kl. 01:26, skrev Lux, Jim:
Not only is the CSAC low power (~ 100 mW) it's physically small, which
is attractive for some applications (inside a cubesat, for instance).
It used to be price competitive with a Rb, too ($1000-1500, as I
recall) but now they're about $5k.

The CSAC is not a cesium in the conventional sense. It is much closer to
a telecom Rb than anything else. There likely are telecom Rb’s that would
do a better job. Would they do a good enough job? …. likely not ….

No, there's no route to the top of Ben Nevis other than a clamber on a
rocky path - I did it once in years gone by. You'd have to be young and
Special Forces trained or similar to get a 5071 with power up there!
You may be thinking of Mt Snowdon in Wales, that has a rail route to the
top.
Tom,
A leap second is due 31 December. I'm sure I've seen reference to a "leap
second pending" flag in some reference to time keeping somewhere.

Hi
Roughly speaking the OCXO is 40 Hz or 8 ppm at the max end of the tune range.
That’s a lot.
If your OCXO is that low, then yes, it is a problem. You either need to repair

the OCXO. If you are replacing, the question becomes - do you upgrade to a 10

Jared absolutely thats 40 Hz low. It needs to be about +/-10 Hz or less.
Granted the system has a wider range. For the heck of it can you fairly
easily inject your 5 MHz gpdso 9about 0 Hz off)into what the OCXO feeds.
You only actually need A10j3 marked 1V on the OCXO. You can leave the other

Hi,
I have performed the test with the 10Mohm resistor.
With an 0.5V P-P signal from the function generator into A7J1, I get 980mV at

When I probe the A7 output (Yellow wire) i get a good output as described in
