Having done some early prototype testing on this upcoming amplifier (no
financial involvement) I'll suggest that it may be worth waiting for. The
isolation at 10 MHz is better than 90 dB, the PN floor is better than -170
dBc/Hz, and the cost will -- as usual for TAPR -- be much less than what

Simply put - they are so small they have to make money any way they can. Their

Sorry Bob,
That does not wash.
They already have HC manuals with schematics.
Dave at ArtekMedia is small too. If he can scan a manual and put it
on-line for <$25, so can SRS. And SRS probably already has it as a .pdf.

SRS is a tiny little outfit making a handful of niche products. I'm amazed they

Hi
Since it's in the "no longer available" category, it may not be much of a
solution. Not much need to upgrade for most of what you will be running.
Another question would be weather you local standard is good to 1x10^-11 at
1 second. If it's not, then that might be the place to put your money.
Hi
I don't believe most of that stuff is going to need a super standard as far
as short term or phase noise is concerned. The only exception might be the
5370B. I haven't looked at it's clock setup / PLL in a while.

That would be the "video amp" alternative. Works fine at some level. I don't

The format of the CF card matters a *LOT* to the 4501. A normal Windows
install can recognize more format variations than the 4501 can at boot time.
Some cards work with the 4501 and some cards don't. I've had cards from the

Hi
How good a 10 MHz do you need noise wise?
If the stuff is common lab gear, there are a bunch of ways to go. If you are
driving dual mixer setups then your choices narrow down a bit. Having stuff
on one bench (and ground) is easier than running cables hundreds of feet.
