Does anybody know what the HP 59307A uses ? It can switch from DC to 500 MHz and the measured DC resistance is on the order of 0.2 ohm. Looking into the unit reveals that the switching device is shaped like a fat IC, thermally coupled with the back panel. 73 Alberto I2PHD _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
