| This must have been a common failure as the 145 added a separate current-limiter pc bd to the unit, which is very simple. I plan to add this to my unit as well, to protect the output transistors from frying. |

| But you've converted your 20MHz generator into a 1MHz generator. OPA547 slew rate is 6V/us, while the Wavetek 145 spec is 20ns at 15Vp-p. The original output transistors are 500MHz parts. Dave Wise |

| My outputs were fried. I disconnected the output and replaced with an OPA547. Cheat to win  |

| The manual for the 145 is available on the web for free. Turns out that the 145 is very similar to the 143, but has the added pulse output circuitry. I think the main board and power supply bds are the same and the schematics and parts lists are in the manual. My unit has a fried output transistor. This must have been a common failure as the 145 added a separate current-limiter pc bd to the unit, which is very simple. I plan to add this to my unit as well, to protect the output transistors from frying. Many of the schematics in the manual say 143/145 on them. Bob |

| Hi, I just bought a non-working 143 on ebay. Just wondering if you ever found the manual. If not, maybe we can share info anyway. Best wishes, Bob r l g r i e b at att dot net |
