<div dir="ltr">HPSDR,<div><br></div><div>Here's my update for this week. Not sure what the issue is right now with the server - but I need to</div><div>head to a soft-ball game my daughter is playing in right now:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>Hello Dave and Everyone.</div><div>Happy Good Friday and Easter to everyone as well.</div><div>This week for Themis and Khronos:</div><div><br></div><div>I did some Power-Point slides for Scotty's presentation for Hamvention - about 3 slides I think it</div>
<div>was for Themis and four for Khronos. Hope you got those OK Scotty. I did also post those to</div><div>GOOG Apps/Docs and shared them with Phil - that was more of a test just to make sure that worked just in case it is needed in the future.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Themis - discussed the results from Brilliant Instruments with the Dir Of Eng of Abracon. The </div><div>results were within +/- 10 ppm as advertised, so all is well. We talked about adding the precision</div>
<div>OCXO Abracon has - but, in order to offset NRE, we would have to place a very large order - so,</div><div>for this turn of Themis, I will probably not design in the OCXO from Abracon. But, remember, we</div><div>still have two options from MTI-Milliren, the 270 and 220, the MicroCrystal OCXO, and the ONYX-IV</div>
<div>from Wenzel. I suppose it should be rather easy for someone to shoe horn in another OXCO if they</div><div>really wanted it.</div><div><br></div><div>I am in the second round of layout for Themis - I probably will start changing the bulk of the 0603</div>
<div>passives to 0402's. That is the next smallest surface mount standard size for those that may</div><div>not know what I am talking about there.</div><div><br></div><div>I didn't make as much progress this week as I had planned due to having to spend a substantial amount of time with the USPTO this week - but that ended up being a good thing and all is well there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am hoping to have a Themis layout soon that is a candidate for fab.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks Everyone, back to you Dave.</div></div><div><br></div><div>So, that was it. And yes, during the week, I take notes.. ;)</div>
<div><br></div><div>73'a All,</div><div>John</div><div>AJ6BC</div><div><br></div></div>
