Re: Need help printing schematic diagrams - large format printer / plotter
Sandra - I'm going to bother you about the SMA induction soldering work. What type of connector did you use?? Did it have a seperate center conductor pin or did it use the coax center conductor? If

Re: HP 8640B - internal counter suddenly got crazy
Well, the whole world uses 10MHz for everything, so it's a reasonable assumption. However, the 8640 predates that convention, and quite a few things back then used 5MHz. Glad the group could assist

Re: 70900A Artek CLIP Manual
As Dave said, the mainfarme contains a power supply that converts line to 40 kHz for distribution to the modules. Each 1/8 module was allowed 20W max. The LO was therefore "stuck" with an allocation

Re: HP 8640B - internal counter suddenly got crazy
it's actually selectable between 5 MHz and 1 MHz via jumpers located inside the counter assembly. And no 10 MHz. Frank IZ8D

Re: HP 8640B - internal counter suddenly got crazy
Yes, using a 10 MHz reference instead of a required 5 MHz would result in reading half of the input frequency. 73 - Mike Mike B. Feher, N4FS 89 Arnold Blvd. Howell NJ 07731 848-245-9115

Hello Group. Following this thread with keen interest. Perhaps some advice on this problem will be applicable to my problem : ** Counter displays exactly 1/2 the output frequency on all bands ** 8640B

Re: 70900A Artek CLIP Manual
This isn't the case for 70K-series power supplies; they are 100% HP. They are specialized (and odd) designs. The enclosure has a large power supply that converts line voltage to bulk AC power of 20V

Re: I'm old 70+, the 70K system is old; good or bad omen?
I forgot to mention this. The capacitors in question here look like typical cylindrical Al electrolytics, but they have a third lead coming out from the *top* of the Al can. See the datasheet for the

Yes there are. IBM used two types on boards from mainframe/midrange systems, three- and four-lead capacitors. They're usually +-+ or +--+, to solve the orientation problem. These boards were typically

The power supply's schematic probably lives in one of many Chinese power supply manufacturer's archives. By the time the 70000K series came around, it was common for HP to buy their power supplies

Depending on the manufacturer, the lead arrangement had another more practical purpose, it made capacitor orientation irrelevant. The outer leads were welded to the aluminum can, and were by
