I am referring to "Schematic.pdf" downloading date: 020604

1.) The ESD protection Q100..104 is located _before_ any HF blocking. So it will demodulate all HF especially AM signals

2) The input time constant of (C147 / 2 ) * R130 = 50 seconds is far too high for practical use:
After an big artifact you will have to wait about 3 times the timeconstant until the trace settles.

3) The DRL circuit with U101A is basically an integrator. That means to get a stable DC operation point
the output must be _DC_ coupled to the input stages. Otherwise U101A will simply integrate some offset voltages until it saturates.
So I am quite sure that your DRL will not work.

4) input noise voltage and current seems to be well designed and around 1uVp-p (0.1Hz .. 10Hz)

5) The calibration circuit with 4060B produces 2 frequencies 1024 Hz and 4096 Hz that
seem to be outside the frequency band of interest. Why that ?

6) What total offset voltage RTO (at output) do you expect, when closing JP100 for DC operation ?

Regards,

Joerg
