# | #* A path where the trigger signal skips the high-impedance Nuvistor input buffer but is still buffered by Q64 and Q124 (1 GHz NPN transistors, part number [[151-0138-00]]) before the tunnel diode trigger event recognizer circuit. This path provides triggering up to 500 MHz. | ||
# | #* A passive low-impedance path, capacitively coupled to a tunnel diode for "UHF SYNC" mode. This works up to 5 GHz. | ||
