Deliveries to the Loading Dock

If you need to deliver freight to the building, the lab has access to a loading dock at 10 Hillhouse Ave. It has a sloped driveway going down into the basement. It is only really accessible for 18-wheelers when there are no cars parked on the street, so if this is the delivery method you will need to figure out a way to cone off the spots early in the day. On the other hand, a “short truck” should make the delivery just fine. You will need to have Luigi or Harley make sure the sliding door is open for the deliver — call the line the day of and get a better estimate of the delivery time.

Inventory of RSL cryogenic low noise amplifiers (Apr 2012)

We currently have six Low Noise Factory 7-10 GHz amps (LNF-LNC7-10A) and two Low Noise Factory 4-8 GHz amps (LNF-LNC4_8A). We also have one Caltech 0.5-11 GHz amp (#226D) with a refurbished ground pin. The ground pin for this Caltech amp was found broken. I contacted Sander Weinreb for solution and with his advice, added a wire to replace the ground pin. I saw one more amp looking like a Caltech amp but currently am trying to find out what it is.

The spect sheets for the Low Noise Factory amps can be found in RSL server;
