I just got an DOXCO made by Frequency Electronics, Inc., so the first thing I did was remove the screws from the outer cover to open it up and check out the insides. Once I removed the foam so I could see the oven, I had the feeling of deja vu. but I'd never owned one of these units before. I realized that it was exactly the same as the oven inside a Morion MV89A that I've seen on this list and where FEI apparently owns Morion it wasn't too much of a surprise. The OXCO part number is FE-489A which is pretty close to the Morion MV89A part number as well. Attached is a photo of the FE on the left and the photo of the Morion from this list on the right.

In the foreground is the output which converts the 5Mhz output of the oscillator to 15Mhz that goes to the SMA connector. The size of this OXCO is exactly the same as the 5650A rubidium oscillator by FEI. Adjustment may be digital and/or analog. . http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac262/rjb1998/FE-489A606-1.jpg -Arthur _______________________________________________ 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.
