[time-nuts] HP10544a Technical Info needed

[Gerald Molenkamp]

Hi Bruce,

You are right. I havn't checked my unit against the schematic at all. It is 
well secured calibrated and operating in my HP 5342 operating well within 
the specifications. The scanned schematic came from Leapsecond a few years 
ago, and I have not had to use it as yet. Lets hope it stays that way.

Cheers

Gerald
