OK.

This MV89 is mounted on a PCB with SMA connectors for the EFC, REF and 10MHz. I connected the EFC from the TB to the REF out of the oscillator, not for very long, and things haven't been quite right since then.

I should not play in the workshop after drinking wine with dinner!

It'll be interesting to see how Trimble designed the DAC. There doesn't seem to be much more than a 4V reference, a quad opamp and a bunch of RCs. I guess that as long as it's monotonic, accuracy is not overly important.

Cheers.

Fess up David. Tell the story.

David,

I'm sure it's nothing compared to what I did many years ago to my
Singer FM-10C Synthesizer.  You tell us your story and I'll tell you
mine.  You're among friends.  Every time my life flashes before my
eyes it's mostly embarrassing stuff.

Hi All,

I've managed to blow up the DAC output on my TBOLT; it now has about
0.5V 42kHz ripple on it. I think I know how I did this, but it's too
embarrassing to share in public.
