Hi Mark - do you have a source or part number for the fan? I seem to remember that the manuals says 35 or 37 cfm.

Set the gate time to 1 sec. My 5370A shows 99.999 999 9650 +/- 50 at 1 sec gate time. >From my experience it can take at least a couple of months of continuous operation for the oscillator in an unused 5370 to stabilize its drift rate. Once stabilized, the 10544A's in the 5370A seem to be much LESS drifty than the 10811's in the 5370B.There are three mods that I do to all the 5370s that cross my path. First I replace the fan with a 12V 120 ma brushless DC fan driven by the 10V supply. Second I drill a hole in the top of the case over the oscillator tuning control. Third, I add a switch to the oscillator buffer board to disable that STUPID oscillation detected LED that spew put 5 MHz noise all over creation. I also disassemble and clean those slide switches on the front panel. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft's powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469226/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
