[time-nuts] Importing into EEC
Just wanted to remind everyone it's illegal to import any electronic devices into Europe without them having a CE mark. I see there have been many projects like the Jackson Labs unit that have been imported into Europe. This is illegal. I don't mean to knick pick, but it costs our company about $1 to CE mark a product. And if we add one small option, it must be CE marked again. To the small manufacturer, this kills us and doesn't allow us to offer low prices.

His website is at http://jwmeng.com/model_RDA-6.html Doug K6JEY There's a few specifications missing: 1) input impedance and return loss. 2) output impedance and return loss 3) phase noise These are essential if one is to make a rational decision on the suitability of the distribution amplifier. The outputs and inputs appear to share a common ground. This would preclude its use in some setups without external means of providing the required isolation. The other question is does the device use AGC to set the output level? If it does the phase noise floor will almost inevitably be relatively high compared to the state of the art.

When I use the monitor program from Symmetricom I see that my OCXO stays cold and I have no Cesium oven voltage. The OCXO does feel warm so this one is warming up, I don't know if the cesium oven is warming up since I can't feel any heat from the CBT. I also don't see any current from the ION pump. After opening the unit I found a burnt resistor R1 on one board, I don't know what it's function is but I would like to

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Martyn Smith wri tes: Just wanted to remind everyone it's illegal to import any electronic devices into Europe without them having a CE mark. That is not true. It is illegal to *sell* things without CE marks to the unwashed public, but you are allowed to import for personal use. In addition there are a vast array of exemptions, including professional test measurement equipment. Furthermore, anything constructed before the CE mark requirement came into force in their local country are OK. I see there have been many projects like the Jackson Labs unit that have been imported into Europe. This is illegal. No, it is not, stop spreading FUD.

Re: [time-nuts] Importing into EEC
It depends on local interpretations of the CE rules. UK as usual in all things emanating from the EU does it all to the letter, so yes, it is illegal here (may be a bit more relaxed up your way Poul, as common sense and EU don't seem to mix down here!). One can get exceptions in a few cases, especially if military customers are involved. But, the general rule is that if it hasn't got a CE mark in the UK you can't sell it.
