The chance of finding a cheap, used, working, replacement tube is rather
small. But...

I have an HP5071A with a high performance option that does not work. All of my

out of my budget. I am now torn between parting it out and see what I can use
and keeping it intact with hope something might pop up.

Hi
If I’m doing stuff, they both are powered up. I run a GPSDO as the local

so that is what runs 24/7/365. In a normal year, they are powered up about 50%

Its measured noise floor is consistent with that expected from the noise

I regularly see attenuation with overcast clouds, but only with some
overcast clouds. It's not consistent enough to be able to say which types.
The attenuation can be as much as 10 dBc,
As far as I know, my friend's GPS dropout problems have been associated with
simple clouds with no rain (at least no rain reaching the surface).

Hi Corby --
I normally keep the 5065A running all the time -- it's usually set up as
the "house standard" and I tweak the frequency against Cs every few
months. You know more about its service history than I do. :-)
When it was working, I usually kept the 5061A running full time as local

I don't think clouds is the direct cause, but of course clouds in the sky

FWIW, I designed the TADD-1 to have equal length signal paths for all six
channels.

If you're doing beam forming, the "one amp driving multiple
loads" approach is probably going to do the best and most
stable job of getting what you need. And all your loads should
be identical, not some mix of different makes/models.
But you will need to find an amplifier that can deliver the go

Having had DirecTV on the roof for a few years, and having experienced
regular significant signal loss events during heavy rain and snow (loss of
reception was a rather good predictor that "the skies were about to open

Hi
You (sort of) have run into two problems:
1) The GPSDO takes forever and ever to lock ( = the gain is to low / the time
constant it to long)
2) The GPSDO has to much jitter ( = the gain is to high / the time constant is
to short)
Obviously, you can’t solve both of these problems by adjusti
