Hi John,
Thanks for your reply, sadly, it is not plug compatible with the
10811 although the spec does not look too different, i.e. parts in
10^9 etc. What I would really like to know is the EFT voltage
range, the oven voltage - which I believe to be 20V and the
oscillator voltage range.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks to you also. I was sitting at my desk this afternoon
comparing a 10811-60111 and the OSC 49-61C and they look to
be exactly the same as your two. My Ovenaire has a right-angled
co-ax socket (SMC?) for the 10MHz out.
OK, I can look at the 8568A manual and also make some measurements
to determine the voltages - I have 4 other 8568's in the shop at
the moment, at least one will have a Ovenaire OCXO - but the EFT
is a bit of an enigma. I believe that there is a source voltage
pin for the EFT on the OSC 49-61C and guess that a pot would be
connected between that pin and ground.
Thanks again Jeff, John, and any further input will be welcome.
TTFN
Geoff
