yes you are missing something -> its the BVA holder that creates the Allen Deviation magic
but I admit, it starts with a Quartz, yes (most of the CBTube based masers still steer a 8663...Quartz) these 8600-06 from 2003, just about the same time as the datasheet you referenced were about 14K CHf I recover ~ 4 per year from 5548B and from F3 and so on and of these , some are trash and saved for parts I have the experience to know which are 100% and I offer satisfaction with my price; the object must meet the standard ADEV limit in OSA specification or it should not be out there (and I need them for parts) in confidence Manny ________________________________ From: Dr. David Kirkby <drkir...@gmail.com> To: Mann Weltzeit <mweltz...@ymail.com>; Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <time-nuts@febo.com> Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2013 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [time-nuts] B.V.A. 8600 for sale On 29 August 2013 01:00, Mann Weltzeit <mweltz...@ymail.com> wrote: > I have recovered BVA Oscillators from Telecommunications decommissioned > equipment > > and these tested Oscillator Modules are offered for sale to the Time-Nuts > group. > > I have two 8600-06 units with 5 MHz sinus wave output on two SMA > powered with 24 Volt DC (+/- 10%) operation at aproximate 200 mA quiescent. > > I offer satisfaction protection in private sale at $3000.00 USD for each unit > paid by Paypal only, including North American shipping, excluding insurance. Am I missing something, or is $3000 more than a little excessive for what a quick Google would suggest is an OCXO? http://www.tamadevice.co.jp/pdf/oscilloqartz/8600.pdf OK, they are good OCXOs, but still an OCXO. Maybe I am missing something.
