Thanks Bob, I got some offline help from someone and I redid my setup and I am now getting decent data. It looks like it was finger problems. It has only been warming up for a day but it is now looking decent. Once I get a longer plot I will post all the things I did wrong in my setup. It was the

Hi The “better” 10811’s were sorted out from the “general population”. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that (at least for phase noise) far more hit the better categories than got labeled as such. If indeed your device seems to have trouble, the OCXO is a likely candidate. The power

If you're thinking it's the 10811, here's something to try: Arrange to measure output frequency, and tune voltage, and put the curves up on a dual-trace o'scope. If the output frequency fluctuations correlate in the correct direction of the tune voltage fluctuations, then the problem is probably

Thanks Bob, No rust just a couple of electrolytics leaked taking out a couple of nearby parts. Everything else looks very nice. I might be able to find another 10811 to try. I thought there were different versions The specified one was supposed to be special low phase noise. But I know nothing

Hi If the inside of the 105 went under water long enough to rust out a lot of parts on the boards, it’s a good bet that the 10811 in the unit got hit pretty hard as well. Simple answer: Spend $40 on an eBay replacement for the 10811. It should just plug in …. Bob > On Dec 13, 2020, at 5:15

I am in the middle of resurrecting a HP105B, It is one of the later models with an 10811 in. I have fixed the obvious issues like the electrolytics that were missing and other parts that had leads evaporated due to corrosion. The basics seem to work, A not bad looking sine wave etc. But the ADEV
