Re: [time-nuts] Thunderbolt monitor

From my thermionic valve days, the emmissivity of a filament was greatly extended by under-running them. If the display is pemanently run at a lower current in dim mode, how long could the life be extended by dropping the filament voltage by a small margin? cheers, Neville Michie On 18/07/

Re: [time-nuts] Thunderbolt monitor

I too have never seen one go dim. In fact, I have a VCR (Beta!) that's been pluged in continously since I got it new in the early '80s. It still looks the same as when I got it except that the display has had a left to right wave going through it since about 1995. So, wavy- but not dim at all

When you have a RFTG-m-XO and Rb pair, do you connect both J5 and J6 on each unit or just J5? Scott Scott Mace wrote: > Has anyone tried to discipline the RFTG-m-RB without the -XO unit from > a house PPS feed? > > I think pins 4 and 8 on J6 are the PPS input. > > Scott > > _

Any info available ?   Name is a little misleading as this unit is RF filters and preamp.   Contains 4 adjustable filters first is switch selectable for peek or null, other 3 are null, and one band pass filter 29Khz to 100Khz. May be similar to 2084 Multifilter one output shared between front and

[time-nuts] Power splitter on the Thunderbolt units

What is the power splitter glued on some of the Thunderbolt units meant for ? Apparently it is good up to 500 MHz, so it can't be used for the signal coming from the antenna. Maybe it was just part of complete product which the Thunderbolt was part of. Just curious 73 Alberto I2PHD _

All VFD displays (and EL and CCFL LCD backlights) have finite lifetimes. Very few will last over 40,000 hours (5 years). Many start to noticeably degrade after one year. Many EL backlights have lifetimes of less than 5000 hours (ever see a Tektronix 1502/1503B/C TDR with a good backlight?)
