Bob, Its settled down to around 1.3A @ 24V now.
I'll up the volts to 28 and see wat happens then.

Trying to trace where Port 1 comes out.

Port 2 is the front panel port from pins 7 (TXD) and 8 (RXD) on U107.
Pins 13 (RXD) and 14 (TXD) from U107 go to Port 1.
Logic probe can see no activity on these lines.

Also :SYST:COMM? Gives us SER2 so I know that the primary port (front panel) is 
correct.
And :SYST:COMM:SER1:BAUD? yields +9600 so it knows about port 1.

Why? I was thinking I could use port 1 to drive a refclock..

Hi

That's more power that it should be pulling. It *should* be happy on anything 
from about 20 to 60 volts. I run mine on 28 volts. Last time I looked it was 
pulling well under an amp. How much under - don't remember. 

The "kit" version from China comes with a 24V 2.x A supply. As with any OCXO, 
the power drops quite a bit after warm up.

Watch Out, I got hold of one..

I have powered it up and its drawing 52W @ 24v.

My question is, What is the input voltage range on the Z3815A?

Also, one for those familiar with the Z3815A, "Holdover Uncertainty Predict:" 
is showing 2 dashes ( -- ) From my experience with the Z380x clocks this 
usually is displayed right after its locked to GPS.
Is there a problem with this unit, or the Z3815A won't ever display this, or 
just give it some more time?
