Hi  Bob,

I wonder what the other oscillators that others are receiving look  like in
the SA. Replacing all the capacitors would take a serious effort,  not sure
if it would be justified.

Can I ask how can you know all  that by looking at the spectrum plot?

Thank you,
Roberto  EB4EQA

Hi

The spectrum you show in the middle is the correct  one. It shows the 10 MHz
output and the sub-harmonics related to the 5 MHz  crystal oscillator. The
other two are a bit broken. One appears to have a  stage oscillating. The
other is more interesting. It has a stage  oscillating that is injection
locked to the 5 MHz crystal oscillator. I  suspect more than one capacitor
went bad in these OCXO's. Somebody may have  sold Morion a bad reel of 
bypass
caps.

Bob
