Hi Dave, my experience of mixer-vcos with two crystals in a similar frequency range is that they at OK up to QRSS10. The are ok on QRSS30 and 60 provided you are not trying to fit into a 0.3Hz slot a

So just how stable are the resulting outputs using these things? Anyone looked at that yet? Its a given that you will need very good to excellent frequency stability once things go beyond the aural C
Whoa Alan, you may be joining the Worshipful Company of Professional Idlers, but dont get any of those ideas that you will have "plenty of time". Within a fortnight you will be wondering how you ever
Dave, Thanks for saving me the effort of doing the testing on ceramic resonators! I see Rapid also stock these, and the 11.0592 xtals too. I've got my NoV application ready to post tonight and I reti
Dave's tests make interesting reading, and it is because of this difficulty of pulling 500kHz crystals in VXOs that I did not even consider doing it this way. My twin VXO, as previously mentioned, us
Hi Alan, Alan and LF. I've done a few tests with trying to "pull" crystals and resonators up into the 501-504 kHz band. I used a single NPN transistor in a Colpits configuration with a 3 - 30pf trimm
