Hi Ed,

IIRC it's normal for the circuit check meter readings to behave "squirrelly" as you've described for the 3 output checks. I think this function is pretty much only to "crudely" show that you have (or don't have) each output.
It's not exactly 'time nuts' quality is it? :-)

As for your 100kHz & 1MHz dropping-out when you load your 5MHz output into 25 ohms, this might be a sign of a marginal condition of your output section - e.g., 5MHz signal dropping too low when loaded with 25 ohms?
That's what I'm assuming. According to the schematic for the older version, the path feeding the divider is well isolated from the path to the output for both the 5 MHz and 1 MHz stages. I expected HP to do at least that well when they modified the design to include the 10811. That's what makes me wonder if there's a circuit fault.
However in practical use I think various destination instrument's timebase inputs might require a bit more voltage than you'd have at best into 25 ohms anyway. So I'd probably not load the 105B into such a low impedance.
Agreed. At this point, I'm just trying to figure out what I can and cannot do.

Ed

Best,
Greg
