Hmm this sounds like YAP! (yet another project). I've have 6 HP5517B's (new version of the 5501B) who output are to low to use. Yet they will phase lock.
Scale this up to 4. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Magnus Danielson Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 5:22 PM To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [time-nuts] HP 10811A/B OCXO OP/SRV manual is onlineathparchive.com AND HP 5501B manual.

It seems like three 5501s, optical splitters/joiners and a fairly normal counters should allow for a three-cornered hat and then should the Allan variance and friends be possible to measure.
