Brian, The support board part number indicates that it was used in a model HP 5328A or B counter. I find that some versions of that model used a 05328-60027 board. Maybe you misread the part number? Anyway, There are a number of complete manuals for the 5328A & B counters on the web,

Bob, Please advise the make & model of your counter, and if possible, the make & model of the OCXO it contains, or if you have the manual, the aging spec on the time base. It's entirely possible (probable) that the OCXO is already several orders of magnitude better than any HF WWV broadcast.

Excellent advice from Charles, especially concerning isolation criteria. Should you be looking to distribute a standard 10 MHz frequency to various bench instruments, I'd recommend that you take a look at Extron video distribution amps. Several models on Ebay right now, at reasonable prices.

Yep, been there, done that! I used a modified Extron ADA 3-80, then replaced it with an ADA 6, both of which did have the CLC409 amps. Eventually, I replaced all with a real DA from Montronics (Fluke). Had to modify it for 10 MHz, since it maxed out at 5 MHz. Changing capacitors in tuned

I must caution all who would buy the 5-digit panel meters, thinking that they are actually capable of accuracy that you would normally expect from a 5-digit meter. The panel meters in question use a STM8S003F3 micro-controller, which contains a single 10-bit A/D. Depending on which eBay or

On a hunch, I searched for the other part number on the nameplate (0960-0477) in one of the military stock reseller's database and found that the only end item that this oscillator was used in was the AN/FPS-115 PAVE PAWS (Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry - Phased Array Warning System) radar

To all who are interested in Gerhard's boards; If you just send a zip file of the Gerber files that Gerhard has provided to JLCPCB, you can get 5 boards, including shipping to your address (I'm in the USA; I can't say what shipping would be to other countries) for a grand total of $5.90 USD.
