 Subject: Re: [time-nuts] 10 MHz Distribution Amp
 I guess I like simple stupid and common.
 If the parts are at radio shack... thats indeed common.
 I use a IRF510 fet $1.99 at RS.
 Bias it into the linear region and then use a passive R splitter.
 Roughly 10K to Vdd
 Doesn't get much easier then that.
 I also will put a tank circuit on the drain and tune it if I want to
 make a square wave into a sine wave. Use caps to isolate dc...
 By the way I do also use Grassvalley video DAs and other broadcast
 DAs with the clamping turned off. They easily go to 10 MC. But they
 draw a bit of power compared to the simple fet approach.

 Paul

 A friend of mine is looking for an inexpensive way to distribute
 his 10 MHz T-Bolt signal to other instruments. The TAPR unit, while
 very nice, is a tad on the pricey side when you add in the
 enclosure.
 Any ideas what he could use that is not so expensive ?
 Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ
