The OSA 8600 shows just how far you can take AT-cut. Oh.. Ok. Didn't want to sound that way. On the other hand, that conclusion is not far from the truth. I still have a lot to learn. Thanks for the correction. But then, the 8600 has a ~10dB higher noise then the 8607. Ie the noise is 10 times higher (it is power-dB, not voltage-dB isn't it?). Which makes me wonder what the noise contribution is. I would assume that the electronics are very similar if not the same (electronics are cheap compared to the crystal) and the mechanical construction seems to be very similar as well. In comparison the stability between 2 and 30s has only a factor of 2 inbetween. (maximum instability according to spec). Any ideas what the reason could be?
