[time-nuts] Oscillator comparison

2009-10-29 Thread Glenn Little WB4UIV
I have just recently bought a working HP 5345A counter. Much to my surprise, I find that the oscillator is a Vectron 2810007-11. The early 5345A counters used a 10544 oscillator, while the later ones used a 10811. Can any one tell me what the real difference, in operation, is between the HP 10544

From my experience with HP 5370 counters that have either the 10544 or 10811 oscillators, the 10544's seem to have quite a bit LESS long term drift than the 10811's. This is comparing units that have been stabilized for at least a couple of months of continuous operation. One disadvantage
