Retirement works like that IN THEORY. IN PRACTICE it is somewhat different. I have been retired 9 years, 4 surgeries on my hands, 2 hernia repairs and 2 cancers, Kidney removal and partial lung

Re: What calibration items to buy.
From what I've read, unsaturated cells have a short life, about 10 years, whereas saturated cells are almost immortal. (Voltage falls, and TC and hysteresis rise.) An old unsaturated cell meeting spec

Re: Tek 317 odd trace behavior after warm-up
OK great, a dead cap, hopefully that will fix it. As soon as it's replaced, measure the output of the voltage regulator tube, it's the most important thing, this thing is the reference ;-) Vince

It's the Copperplate typeface. Definitely not a stencil. The family has several members. https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/copperplate-gothic/ --Toby

Re: 550V 3.2nSec Pulse Generator Metrotek MP 203

Re: Protecting button labels
Technically we may be talking about the typeface, I think the font is the collection of all the elements that make up a given typeface (weight, style, width etc)? Other GOM* points: There have been

Re: 550V 3.2nSec Pulse Generator Metrotek MP 203

Not sure it would simpler or cheaper to be honest - given the whole board is not much larger than the two relays anyway and, in mine at least, has only a couple of diodes and some .1" headers in

Is there room for a small daughterboard? That would be simpler than a whole new PCB.

Re: 550V 3.2nSec Pulse Generator Metrotek MP 203
Hi Brasscat, Yes but the duty cycle is infinitesimal. The pulse lasts less than 100nSec and it repeats every ~100uSec. So the ratio is at least 1:1000. That would make 5KW act more like 5W. But I

Re: 550V 3.2nSec Pulse Generator Metrotek MP 203
I guess the pulse is so short that you can get away with that, but during the pulse it's 550 watts. I was thinking a transmitter dummy load / attenuator to start with. Stan KO6YB
