Will,
Yeah. I have thought about this option too. But that means I have to give up the ability to internally choose attenuation.
Right now, I am facing the issue of choosing the cable that go between the RF connector and the coax switch (K2). No experience on choosing or specifying one before.....

Amos - you can use an external atten. to keep the input signal below +20
dbm.

Hi all,
With help from friends in this group, I have found the schematics in the
manual, and I also identified the five missing parts in the HP 8565A that I
cheaply bought from ebay.
Now, I found it difficult to find a cheap source for 08565-60084
attenuator.
Does any one know the replacement part for 08565-60084 (A34, RF
attenuator) in HP 8565A? It does not seem to be easy to obtain this attenuator
($400). I wonder if anyone knows any information about this attenuator.
If obtaining one is difficult, what options do I have?
Also, I wonder if this attenuator is really needed to make the system work.
Thanks in advance.
Amos
