[time-nuts] HP 5065A Rubidium

[Brian Kirby]

Mine is the 10811-60109.....serial number prefix is 2432.....

Bought the unit at The Huntsville Hamfest today.  I knew the test 
equipment dealer and he let me take the unit home to check it and so far 
it appears to be OK.  I had to adjust the coarse frequency before I 
closed the loop, as it had high error voltage.  I let it warm up about 
30 minutes, and then adjusted it against a GPSDO, closed the loop, reset 
the logic and I have continuous operation light and all the meter 
readings are close to the recorded values.  After an hour, I did a quick 
drift test and I have 8x10E-12 in  2 minutes.  Its 20 years old 
according to the recorded meter readings.

Its just a rubidium oscillator.  No digital clock or 1 PPS circuits. 
Looks like I get to go back and pay the man.  I love hamfest !

Bruce - I found the manual at  Didier's site, but its not for the one I 
have - but its a good place to start.  I looked there before,  But I 
must have been too quick.  Thanks.
