hello Tom,
thank you for your kind response.
All voltage levels are fine and I have 5MHz as well as 15MHz on the
board. DC levels at transistors I testet were not suspicious.
I have no idea where how the 10MHz is generated. I do not see any
doubler active but see a tripler at 15MHz.
May be the community can explain my error listings especially the
"OSC_DEL, error code: 01H". OCXO has good output and heater seems to be
ok as well as EFC.
cheers Götz
