Thanks very much.

You've got that high frequency cavity oscillator, that runs from 256 to
512MHz, which is successively divided down for the lower bands. When I was
working at Rockwell-Collins, those 8640s had a sticker on them, stating that
the unit needed to be on for at least 72 hours, before making any
measurements. They do take awhile to stabilize.

I have an Hp-8640b opt 323 that seems to be working fine,
except the final two digits of the frequency display keep
fluctuating, even after 3 hours of warmup. Is this normal
or how do I go about fixing this?
