Good to hear from you again, Tam.? I haven't seen you on here or on TekScopes for a while.? I take it you've been busier than a one-armed paper hanger lately.

Hello Gerald,

maybe I can help spread the word on Instagram - if you send me a picture, I can post it!

Hi Everyone,

HP YIG's have been failing due to age and some reports of batch oscillator transistor faults.?

Luis Cupido -?CT1DMK did conduct repairs until his transistor stock ran out. There are plenty of freebay units about, good luck , and there is one reputable repair service about, but they are refurbished units,?not new, thus life expectancy is not guaranteed beyond initial 12 months.

I have been researching a very close replacement for your typical 3-7GHz YIG like the HP 5086-7903 and possibly others to suit spectrum analysers from DC-2.9GHz, 85/86 series possibly others.

A very close equivalent?unit is available after months of effort contacting Teledyne, The Teledyne FS3013R. Data sheet and an updated comparison sheet version 3.0 can be found in the files area ,YIG directory Paul created.

I recently received a quote from a Teledyne agent in Aus, a new FS3013R is approx. US$1,332 delivered to Australia. However, the greater the QTY the lower the cost. I would like to see a cost per unit for around US$900 delivered.

There is a catch, it is not a simple drop in and all will be OK. Extensive research and effort is needed to integrate the FS3013R into the analyser and it's YIG driver circuit along with the Cal process, however it is a very close fit?? ?

I would like to see a cost per unit less then US$900 delivered.?This brings me to a question without notice, is anyone interested in a large group buy, the?greater the QTY the lower the cost?

I just need numbers for now, the formalities can come later if the enthusiasm is there.

Regards

Gerald
