I'm looking for opinions and/or first hand experience. I have an HP-5060A which has been running now for about one year on a "used tube" that I picked up from Corby Dawson. The beam current has been very steady after initial power up. The unit runs 24/7.
My question is: Should I bother switching to the low temperature mode to extend the tube life or just let it run as is? (I know the noise for certain measurement periods would increase in low-mode) Anybody have a feel for what possible extension in tube life can be had from the low-temp mode? Thanks in advance, Brian, WA1ZMS _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
