Hi Pete:
The HP 5110 has a phase continuous output when the frequency is changed and was
the basis for early chirp sounders.

Ah the 8660's
Image 22 8660A's in two racks, was an fun tax payer, paid project :-)
We where never told what the master clock was.
Have S/N suffix 0009 in the garage.
For you time nuts, a side hobby should be frequency nuts. How to
produce the cleanest synth'ed signal but be able to change it quickly.
Made a few companies a lot of money and challenged engineers.
It was quite the challenge in the late 60's into the 70's. There were two
types of cusomers. Those that wanted uS switching time vs. those that
didn't care. Nothing inbetween.

A shame we did not meet a few years ago I had 2 1164s. Both working and
cranky.
Often thought about using modern technology per decade. Anyhow you could
have been the proud owner of both of them for that magical box we send back
and forth. As it was I darnear gave them a way for a song at a hamfest.
I do have a 8660c and fluke 6060. Both work very well and I use them often.
I am familiar with the old HP now thats a serious boat anchor. I assume you
picked up both the source and the gen it was a 2 unit gizmo.

The one mix and match synth I've not got working is my HP 5100B/5110B. It
came to me for the price of about 15 gallons of gas, and day on the road.
Was stored in a unheated shop for at least two decades, if not three. Why
have one ? .. Goes with the GR1161, 1162, (No 1164 or 68 yet), PTS 160,
Monsanto 3100A, Fluke 6160B, etc.

Hi Bill
I guess technology moved along. I think of the mix type of syn like
genrad
made 1164 maybe. Son of a guns to keep working and I think they are
noisey.
Granted in the day they were not bad for what they were doing.
You could emulate much in todays technology. But I think cost becomes
an
issue.
Regards
Paul.

Why do we hardly ever talk about synthesizers - those boxes that
turn 10 MHz into other frequencies?
