Sorry I had to step away from this project for a bit. So far it seems to be working fine with no further faults. Perhaps the heat of soldering "fixed" another solder joint; I'll certainly be keeping an eye. That said, one of the symptoms I was seeing that makes sense in retrospect is a mis-leveled output signal on the unknown terminals. Since Q1 does form what is essentially an ALC loop with the voltage comparator IC3, a bad joint on Q1 certainly might affect the ability of the oscillator output to be leveled properly. I might like to get one or two extra Q1's on hand just in case this one has an intermittent leg or something. As to calibrated C and L from the parts bin, please do tell.

[OT] Re: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] non-profit engineering
Not?sure to what?avail, but I decided to chime in regarding two of the aforementioned topics.? First, I came to understand that corruption works on a different scale in Europe and in the US.? I'd say that in Europe - particularly in the eastern half thereof -,
corruption is widespread on?average, but it's proportional to longitude and inversely proportional to latitude (sorry, Spain, Italy, Greece, Balkans and Central and Eastern Europe).:) Where I live (admittedly kind of a private dung heap of a petty tyrant nowadays), corruption has always been pervasive from the highest to the lowest levels of government. Although the criminal justice system has?been generally functional, in the 90s and early 2000s you were definitely able to get out of a traffic ticket pretty easily by paying a 50 or 100 EUR bribe. In most of Western Europe, buying your?way out of traffic violations or crimes is basically unheard of, although obviously corruption is there in the higher tiers of government. You know, where the money is. The EU exercises pretty lax control over the funds it pours into R&D and infrastructure projects and this naturally paves the way for all kinds of abuse. I came to understand that the situation in the US is similar to that in Western Europe, with an important catch: the mega-corporations over there have taken corruption to an entirely different level. If you follow the course of events regarding the recently proposed Right to Repair legislation in several states, it becomes clear that lobbyists - on the payroll of interest groups of major players in industry and commerce - have derailed bills that would've clearly benefited an enormous group of people. This is of course not the first time they've decided to get rid of rules and laws that would negatively affect their profit margins, or, conversely, introduce legislation that benefits them. And the situation has deteriorated ever since (now many decades ago) Eisenhower warned the electorate about the impending dangers of the runaway military-industrial complex. The amount of funds the federal government is handling is simply too high. This kind of influence is obviously present in Europe as well (huge corporations having their way), albeit not nearly on this scale. Second, Tam, I'd really appreciate a link where I can see for myself that I could go to prison for libel or slander or defamation for 10 years in Germany or Austria. I've?been toying?with the idea of moving there for some time. Cheers, Gabor On Sat, Apr 11, 2020 at 6:51 PM Tam Hanna <tamhan@...> wrote: Nah, no hard feelings man.

Sorry to hear about the tornado. I¡¯ve been through a few out here on the high plains but damage was limited to roofs, windows, and cars. No direct hits thankfully. Closest was a front porch ripped off and a tree through a kitchen window. You never forget the sound of a tornado. On a brighter note, I have working HP 9000 Series 200 and 300 systems and HPBASIC on a Win7 Pro machine, as well as 8510B and C systems, an old PC for Teledisk and the HP LIF utilities, and a bit of software for the 8510s. I¡¯m happy to help with any software conservation. And I have some nice single malt if you ever venture out this way! Steve WB0DBS On Apr 11, 2020, at 11:42 AM, Dave McGuire <mcguire@...> wrote: |
