Hi As I recall, the whole LH series was a multi chip rather than monolithic IC approach. Even back in the day, that made them expensive parts. There are other parts that make fine 10 MHz buffers that only cost a dime. Bob On Nov 19, 2014, at 9:00 PM, Jim Lux jim...@earthlink.net wrote: On

Hi The only time I ever used them, it was inside the loop with an op-amp. That probably reduced the impact of non-ideal behavior. Getting back to the box that started all this. It’s got what looks like a high(ish) power linear amp already on the board. It’s made up of discrete parts. I have

I know I have some numbers of chroma demod chips as I recall. Picked up in a flea market special along with other more useful chips. I absolutely have the LH033 buffers. Fet input and like lots of power. Have used them as frequency buffers. Super easy to use. Real chips Regards Paul WB8TSL On

Don The two units work together by a buggy cable from what I have heard so far. The Ref0 is the master that drives stuff it connects to REF1 that disciplines REF0. If GPS goes away or the ref1 it all keeps ticking. This is been teh system design for about 20 years. Many of us have the ref1 only

HI Actually there are three different approaches to the “double 5 MHz” question. Roughly 99.99% of all doubler / tripler OCXO’s out there do the trick with a simple single transistor stage and a tuned tank. Follow it up with a tuned single transistor output amp. Cheap, easy, not very fancy,
