Re: [time-nuts] LPRO-101 BITE (~lock) Signal Always Low

Hi, you can check the behaviour of the XTAL V MON voltage to get some useful information. It should move up and down during the searching of a lock, and then it should stop at a certain value when lock is achieved. Bye Luca iw2lje Il martedì 22 marzo 2016, Wayne (gmail)

Hi Pete, the hp3325B has a dipswitch on the rear panel to enable or disable the memory. If the memory is disabled, all settings and set ups are lost when you turn off the instrument. If the memory is enabled, all parameter and settings are maintained. Probably the same switch is prsent in

Hi Tim, is the received signals so strong that you can put them directly into a mixer without amplification and filtering? I.e. without the radio receiver? If not so, you can inject (couple) a local generated RF signal of well-known frequency into the RF input of the receiver in order

Hi, another interesting item about the suffix letter topic, is the hp 8620 sweep generator. The 8620B is a very simplified version of the 8620A, not an improved one. It comes without markers, that is without some knobs, withouth some dials, and without some boards. The 8620C is a later
