I'm doing some short-term runs on the ones I have around here, as well (FE-5680A, PRS-10, LPRO). Will be interesting to see how close ours are. So far, the FE-5680A is doing well in the ADEV department, but its AD9832 DDS chip adds some substantial noise and spurs to the 10 MHz output. Does yours have that chip? I understand that some of them didn't. The overall SSB C/N ratio I'm seeing between 1 Hz - 100 kHz is pretty much in line with Analog Devices' data sheet, as are the spur levels. -- john _______________________________________________ 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.
