Hi Nigel  and the team,

I did it and removed the OCXO from a second Thunderbolt -  
my comments:

don't believe!
inform yourself, observe, measure  and learn.


Compare yourself the new pictures with the previous and  judge yourself,
be careful, we ought to measure it!
should we look to  the back of more of them?
(I am curious to to see other  reports...)

Attention:
Be very careful! When trying to remove the  oscillator the hardware can 
be easily and unrecoverable damaged, the  operator must be experienced and 
know the right technique!

Hi Arnold
 
You have more courage than I do, I've got no plans to go anywhere  near my 
Thunderbolts with a soldering iron:-)
 
Unfortunately I can't help with the phase noise measurements either right  
now but it does seem like an area worthy of further investigation.
 
regards
 
Nigel
