By the way -- Despite the discussion in the article about the voltage regulator, TVB and I have discovered that the Wenzel ULN oscillators are very sensitive to external factors like power supply noise. When I was testing with an aged bench supply that apparently had some dried up electrolytics,

The Wenzel article mentions that care was taken to minimize power supply noise and HEATER NOISE. I had never considered the effect of the magnetic field from the heater winding coupling into the oscillator circuitry. Fortunately (aka luckily), I had always wound my heater coils with 2 conductor

Hello All-- I suppose that most on this list already know all about this, but as a newbie to considerations about low noise oscillators, I found the Wenzel, Inc article on design notes for ultra-low noise oscillators interesting-- Just in case anyone on the list has not seen it: http://www.wenze
