If the output buffer is not operating properly, then there is a high likelihood the broken output buffer will just drag down the output of the OCXO, which will prevent the entire device from operating. Even with the buffer disconnected you risk disrupting the operation of the GPS receiver when you connect and disconnect loads to the BNC connector (if the GPS receiver even keeps operating properly with a 50 Ohm load directly on the oscillator output). What are the markings of the devices close to the BNC connector? Don't forget to check the bottom of the PCB, there are a few devices there as well on some models, but I don't know if the layout is the same on all revisions. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ 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.
