Hi Nigel, Magnus, Bjorn & the Gang,
Thanks for all your replies to my initial message, I appreciate very much.
I downloaded the lastest version of TimeLab and will try it soon, I just
tested the counter against my 5370B and my different Rubidium sources.
Nigel, if you're referring to the 6680B which was on The Frenchy Bay
last week, yes it's me, sorry if you were also on the deal...
I would have preferred a PM6681, but no luck, it was a 6680B version,
may be one day if necessary, don't know yet if it's.
The old mummy arrived some days ago, I tested it, it works great, at
least the basic function I tested. The OCXO has to be tuned properly,
however as I'll use it in the lab driven by a PRS10 Rubidium 1pps
synchronized with a Z3816 GPS rig so it's not a big issue.
The question I'm wondering : Does the PM6680B (or PM6681B) replace
completely a 5370B?
My two main problems with the 5370B are the noise and the heat (then the
AC consumption)!
Also the 5370B on the bench is much more heavy compared to the PM6680B...
So I'm not sure if one replace the other, so keeping the 5370B is
certainly preferable?...
Don't know... :-\
Your advises are welcome.
All the bests to all of you and enjoy your toys...
pf, f5bqp
