Walter pure speculation. Maybe the 100 MHz is superposed to be locked to the 10 MHz. With a scope see what the drift rates are between the two. Adjust EFC slowly to get the 100 MHz to go below the 10 MHZ if its running fast. See if the light changes to green. If it does you know that the system is

Hi If it works like the unit that replaced it, it has a level detect on the external input that rejects signals below some threshold. It either locks up to the internal standard or to the external input. All of the outputs are in the 7 to 13 dim range when operating. The fault circuit looks a

Some time ago bought one on Ebay for under $50 just because it looked interesting. It isn't a prototype but most of the FEI units probably had limited production. It seemed to be more complicated than I expected it to be but if I understood it better it would make more sense. The 10Mhz board is en

I recently got a strange little 1U FEI rack mounted unit called an FE-7923F-100-1, which appears to have rear 10MHz and dual 100Mhz outputs. it is called a Frequency Reference Unit. sadly, my unit has a fault light, and no outputs. All the internal supplies look good, and there is an FE-83AA
