Re: MHM-A1 maser temperature stabilization (Skip Withrow)

Yes, a $40,000 temperature and humidity chamber would be nice.  However,
the MHM-A1 has a slightly different physical design than the MHM units that
came after it.  MHM-A1 is 52" tall, too big for the AES chamber.

NIST does use chambers for their masers.  However, my understanding is that
they were chambers designed for hospital applications.  I was told they
were cheaper.

Hi

Indeed my “guess” at the cost could easily be off by 5X. Some of these custom /
short run “appliances” can be insane price wise.
