There was never any documentation of the NGOComm program, because of the proverbial "lack of resources". The author of the program trained a few people, and they trained others. I used to know how to use it, but it has been 10 years since I used it. Rick Karlquist N6RK Richard W. Solomon wrote

If you want a 'vintage' solution, the HP 5087A can be configured to take a single 5 or 10 MHz and divide/multiply it to 10 MHz, 5 MHz, 1 MHz and even 0.1 MHz then feed that to various output amplifiers of 10, 5, 1 or 0.1 for up to 12 total outputs of your configuration. However, you might be looki

Hi people I too needed a 1MHz reference to drive my HP5245L counter. I simply fed the t.bolt's 10 MHz output into a single transistor amp to obtain 5V p.p and divided down using a TTL 7490 chip. This I followed with a six stage Chebichev  1Mhz low pass filter to "knock-off" the rough "corner" sp
