Re: 8753ES YIG oscillator circuit WCA
Also, it appears if you have manual control of your preset DAC¡¯s then you can manual tune the DAC 0 to max (it sounds like you have 2040 bit DAC¡¯s if 1019 is your center). Monitor the YIG freq.

Re: 8753ES YTO freq vs. Main Coil mA
I have not had to deal with freq. tune issues in an 8753, but did have to deal with them in 8566 and 8340 repairs. There are coarse adjust for both the high and low end freq. tune points measured in

Thanks Harvey! Now what should I do with the other 554 channels? <big grin> Keith

Re: HP8563 HV supply repair
It would have to be avalanche rated for the amount of energy I suppose, at a high enough voltage.? A diode would also limit the pulse amplitude on the high voltage winding. Peter

Re: HP8563 HV supply repair
Umm don't you need a damping diode on the coil. Not sure how the FET can withstand the inductive kick. Regards Paul WB8TSL

Re: HP8563 HV supply repair
Thank you for your description and great photos. I have rewound transformers, the key is being able to open them up to where you can remove the old windings and do the rewinding, while counting turns

Grant, Please see responses in-line. That worries me as someone who runs their own mail server(s). Is it because you didn't change the groups.io deformation of my email address that used the = sign?

Glen, Yeah, I was sent 16900-14121.ISO, and 16900-14122.ISO (for the BIOS upgrade). That's all I really needed for the 16900A.

Re: 16900A cleanup and modernization experience including installation notes!
Glen, Thanks again for your comments. Responses-inline. Yeah that's what you had said on the previous thread, which is why I opted for a Sil3114A. Surely the drivers are the same or close for the 3112

Re: 8753ES YIG oscillator circuit WCA
The manual says this: If you have a 1 GHz low pass, try it. I think I once did it with a 1.8 GHz low pass. Note, there is a filter-less Test 54 procedure in the manual too, but it looks a lot less

Re: 8753ES YIG oscillator circuit WCA
Ok, I will do this test. Where can I find the actual specs for this filter?? Online I see reference to it being a 1.9 GHz LPF, in the manual it shows in in a diagram as a 4.1 GHz LPF, and the other

Re: 8753ES YIG oscillator circuit WCA
You do need to check that before you do more esoteric troubleshooting. If the 3.8 GHz oscillator is off, then for a given YTO frequency the IF will be off too. Too much IF error, and the YTO loop will
