Hope it worked out for you aswell!

My unit had a 10 MHz oscillator that was 30 Hz off-frequency. I purchased a VCTCXO That was almost exactly the same size as the original and made a small double sided board that had the 4 matching pads on the bottom connecting to the top with vias. On the top side I installed the VCTCXO along with a 20 turn trim pot between supply and ground. The wiper of the pot was connected to the voltage control input of the VCTCXO and bypassed with a .01uF to ground. The assembly was reflow soldered on the FY9600 pads. It was very easy to zero beat the oscillator to WWV time standard on a ham radio to less than 1 beat in 10 seconds. That is 0.01 ppm which is rather good and maintains the stand alone nature of the signal generator. I has held within 1 Hz 0.1ppm for two years. I also modified the grounding, making it switchable, added a power switch, beefed up the power supply, and added a small fan. The main chip gets rather hot. One might ask why not buy a better signal generator in the first place? Because it was interesting and fun. A project on my list is a GPS disciplined reference.

Good job! The internal crystal oscillator is indeed very bad... What I ended up making is, I replaced it with a very stable 10MHz oven controlled oscillator bought 2nd hand from Aliexpress at a bargain price, and fine tuned it to fraction of Hz using a PC with an SDR key, tuning a time and frequency radio beacon as reference, and using the spectrogram of the SDR software to match the output of the FeelTech generator to such reference 😉

Hello colleague! - Latest News on FY6900-30M Generator - The first thing that we managed to establish is that in the AM mode installed on the PC, it is possible to obtain an output frequency of up to 99 MHz. In any case, the digital oscilloscope showed just such frequencies, 70-80-90 MHz. The frequency value was controlled by the AMPLITUDE and FREQUENCY parameters. I did not find any logic, I left this question for study for later. Another surprising fact is that the generator takes power from the USB port. Before installing the generator control software, I connected the generator to the computer port. The generator has been turned off. In the process of fiddling with the installation of the program, I did not immediately notice, but then I discovered that the LED on the "ON" button was highlighted. I decided I forgot to turn off the generator. I flicked the switch on the back wall, nothing changes. I pulled the plug out of the socket. The LED continued to burn. Different thoughts got into my head, the plug was pulled out of the socket, but where does the power come from ??? I was completely stunned when the generator turned on completely, the screen lit up, and a signal appeared at the output. But the power cord lies in front of me, and is not plugged in anywhere! How is this possible ? Then I remembered the USB cable and pulled it out of the generator. The generator screen went out and I sighed with relief. It became clear where the energy came from to the generator. Then the program was installed, remote control started working and everything returned to normal. Further, I turned off the mains supply with the switch on the back, the generator continued to work, as if nothing had happened. On the one hand, it is convenient, there is no need to alter the switching power supply. On the other hand, the generator draws more than 500 ma, my avometer read 600 ma in full mode and about 500 ma in the "off" state. button on the front panel. If the USB port in the PC is weak, then such a load can disable it. Probably, to power the generator from a PC, you need to use the USB-3 port. Here is the news.

Tony, I just bought a version of this generator made by Dominity and the PCB inside says FeelTech so it is very similar to yours. The mod seems to work somewhat. The frequency and wave forms from the FeelTech are off frequency. Measuring the 10MHz signals from the FeelTech internal oscillator look square wave. The 10MHz reference from my BG7TBL distribution amplifier puts out a sign wave. Do I need an external reference square wave?

Hallo Tony, I saw your mod of the "Y-cap". The correct way to go about this would be to place two correctly selected real Y-caps, i.e. correct voltage rating and short-circuit behaviour, between phase and earth, and a single X-cap (same criteria) across the phases. X- and Y-capacitors by definition sit on the AC mains input, not somewhere in the circuit as noise suppressors. The "problem" of the voltage between floating BNC's and your body is the same as the tingling (tinteling, trilling) that you feel when touching a non-earthed object like a lamp or your MacBook (metal case!) when connected to the mains. Reversing the mains plug usually helps. It's caused by capacitive coupling from the mains to a metal case and normally is completely harmless, because of the high impedance of the capacitor, which is either a Y-capacitor or just a mains wire and a metal part running in parallel across some distance. If however, the capacitor is a Y-capacitor and that blows, without safety earth it'll try to blow you too... Unless double-insulated, which these devices obviously aren't, all metal parts have to be connected to earth, so that includes the BNC socket bushes. Noise suppression may be done on a circuit board of course, but it's not done by X- or Y-caps. I also wrote a reaction to Tim's Electronics Lab. re. this.

Hello Raymond, thanks for your explaination on Y-caps, i am sorry the name of the mod. confused you, in this part of europe it is obvios that a yellow/green wire is the earth wire, that is what is stopping the BNC's from flowting, the caps just take out the last noise.

@@TonyAlbus Hi Tony, thanks for your reaction. From Tim's video channel I understood that the yellow/green wire was to replace the standard wire, which was said to be too thin. It certainly was too thin to comply with safety earth regulations but even the thin wire would prevent the BNC's from floating, if a three-prong earthed connector and cable were used and mainboard common was connected to the generator's safety earth connection. The two issues were confusing.

That was interesting, what are you using as an external reference? Is it a more precise function generator?

You could try loose capacitive coupling from the built in oscillator to the switch common to try and keep an oscillator signal present as you flick the switch, as long as the level is very low the external one should override it and take precedence.

Good option for this "inaccurate" signal generator. With a reliable external clock, it's becoming a very stable signal gen option. But, I couldn't get the "original crystal oscillator" out of the circuit. Seems in my set it is glued to the PCB, so I found that the 10mhz signal comes to a 33 ohm resistor, cut the line and, instead of what you did, I had no option but to feed the generator directly to the 33 ohm resistor.

Tony, the incoming 10MHz's 50 ohm matching is not grounded to the FY6900's internal ground, therefore a spike on the reference system's ground could kill the input of the "big chip" I also would put some kind of input level limiter, perhaps a buffer to the input of the "big chip"

Hello Alexander, thank you for your comment, later in the video you will find that it is grounded and i even make a comment about that. yes feel free to change and improve the design, some even proposed to use a pll circuit around the original oscillator for the ref input so you can just plug and unplug the ref. without switching on/off the device .. this was to show that it is possible to get more accuracy out of this cheap generator.

Hi Tony, thank you for the very nice Video. :-) I think you didn't hit the target with your external Ref. mod. The right way would be replacing the original osc with a low phase noise VCTCXO. Then use a PLL loop do do a slow lock to your reference. Because else you add every little piece of hum and noise to your signal, producing a lot of phase noise. I also will implement an external Reference input. You can do Phase noise measurements with your setup, you should find out that the quality depends on a lot of random factors, like hum distribution via the mains cord and so on. It is really the better way to use a pll with a looptime in the seconds range and also isolate the ref input with a differential amp or a transformer to avoid ground loops.

As a result, the square signal is on top of approx. 2 VDC. Is like an offset, so the signal from the ext. clock can't go directly to the CPU. Instead I put a single transistor buffer, connected between the input and the CPU, in order to have the desired offset and not having to inject excessive signal into the external input. Works great with no more than 3 VPP MHZ square wave coming from the dist. amp.

Hi Tony et al Thank you for the useful video concerning the power modifications and comments by others. My contribution is as follows: 1) My FY6900 is branded as KKMoon. Internally, the main board is branded WWW.FEELTECH.NET and appears to be identical as I expected. 2) The shelf-tapping on the heat sink was loose and the heat sink turned about 45 degrees. Reviewing images from other videos the fin alignment is not consistent. Firstly, the heat sink would not be very effective and there is a real possibility of an electrical short. Additionally, there was a metal turning from drilling the hole in the heat sink. Ideally, a small spring washer should be fitted under the bolt to ensure that the heat sink remains in place over temperature cycles. 3) The mains wiring was very interesting and definitely needed attention. The neutral line was connected to the switch and then the fuse. This needed to be reversed on the back of the plug. Also check the way the plugs from the power connector and switch connect to the PCB. These can be reversed and the power supply still works. The switch connector should plug into the socket near the fuse. Mark the connectors with a permanent marker to avoid future confusion. 4) On the main board next to the power cable there are two traces labelled FAN - these have 5 volt on them. In future I plan to check the temperature on the heat sink and maybe put in a fan. I will need to check the power supply rating can support this. Cheers David
