[time-nuts] HP5065A Step Recovery Diode, what part#?

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Mike:

When selecting a SRD the lifetime should be in the neighborhood of 1/4 of the period of the drive signal.  I don't know 
how brick oscillators and 5065 drive signals compare.  If they are in the same ballpark that would be a source.

1. The extent to which you can fix or improve something will be limited by how well you understand how it works.
2. Everybody, with no exceptions, holds false beliefs.
