The 5061A upgrade used those 105-series boards. With the 5061B, they changed the part number of A1A3 (the OCXO interface board) from 00105-6044 to 05061-6198, but I don't see any major differences in the schematic, looking at the Artek .PDF manual for the 5061B. > The part number on the connector for the board is the same as the connector > for the 10811.

You don't really need a board -- I didn't use one (see http://www.ke5fx.com/tbolt.htm ). It uses a pretty common edge connector that can be pulled off of any number of random surplus HP PCBs, if you don't want to order one. > how often do people need to retune the 10811?

The DAC voltage is currently about 0.52V, and I'm sure I would have started it out near 0.0, so about 10% of its EFC control range has been needed after 5 years. (Of course it could have wandered around arbitrarily in the meantime, but I doubt it.) At -0.324 Hz/volt, this would be about 0.03 Hz per year of positive drift on average, or 3E-9 per year. That's in line with what I've seen other well-settled 10811s achieve. > Is there any advantage in using the 723 voltage regulator?

HP's use of an LM317T-style regulator to drive the 18V oven supply, a 78L12 to drive the oscillator, and a Zener+emitter follower to drive the 7474 divider was a bit funky. Regulator noise on the oven supply isn't critical, but for driving the oscillator circuit itself, the difference between a 7812 and an LM317T can be seen in some cases. Not sure offhand how sensitive the 10811 is to supply noise, but you can certainly see the difference in regulators with a Wenzel ULN. In any event an LM317T would be fine for driving the +12 rail. -- john, KE5FX Miles Design LLC _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
