I warned time nuts a year ago about ggg*fitting. They always claim new and what you get is garbage. I bought a "New" 5680 and when I found out that it was very old and defective they agreed to refund my return shipping cost but when I refused to give a 5 star review they refused the refund after I shipped it. ebay did nothing. I had the emails. So any one that buys from them gets what he deserves. Bert Kehren

If analog control parts are used, look for defective parts that determine amplifier gain. If it's done with a microprocessor, look for a physical cause like too much voltage to the oven or shorted turns that reduce the oven resistance. It could also be a faulty mounting of the temperature sensor that introduces too much time delay in the loop.

While cold, OCXO drawing about 0.96A and there is no fluctuations. During warm-up current drops, and somewhere around 0.55A it started to oscillate. Amplitude of oscillation is rising slowly, and in a minute or two reaches maximum. Purchased three OCXO from ggg*fitting few months ago. As always, good working condition was promised. Two of three had really good external appearance, third was dropped, one of corners was bent. Just got time to test - all three were defective (broken output bypass cap). One in addition have lots of spurs in output spectrum, and another have oscillating oven. -- Sincerely, Yuri mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
