Even HP used 5MHz when it counted (no pun intended!) - the 5245L used a 1MHz timebase while the higher spec timebase in the 5245M used 5MHz.

Hi

Except for HP, everything from the US would have been 5 MHz as well.

Hi
Most of the British Racal standards are 5MHz. It may well have been down to what was the best performance of the nationally avilable crystals. Everthing is a compromise. It is easy to double a 5MHz output to 10MHz. One way is to pass it through a bridge rectifier (high speed diodes of course) and then filter it. old 10Mbs "thin" ethernet filters from network cards work well. Check the archives and do a websearch.

Hi

It may well have been teamed up with a piece of Russian designed equipment.

Hi,

I thank all for your responses.

My question arose because I bought a TFL Rubidium Standard and the signal output is 5 MHz. It is a great rubidium standard so I dont understand the reason of the 5 MHZ signal output since the 10 MHz is the common standard.

Best regards
