Hello my friends,
Well, I finally did it, as it was an eBay offer (so it had an ending date
yesterday night), was located locally (in Valencia, Spain, where this evening F1
world champion Alonso will present McLaren-Mercedes new car ;-) ) and price was
about right; so I have bought a working 8407A, with the 8412A display and a
8601A sweeper for the equivalent of US$284. Please, note that I am in Spain,
where HP equipment is by far less available than in other markets.
So, well, I know it has not accessories (in fact, it has not even BNC-BNC
cables!), but it was tested by the seller (I know him personally) and it works
(there were also pictures of it in the auction).
110MHz is not too high, but to start playing with network analyzers (I have
never had a _working_ one at home; I have an 8754A but currently is not
working), it should be enough. If I later find the need for higher frequencies
or functionality, will look for other options.
But by now I will stay with the 8407A :-)!. Once I have it at home I will let
you know how it works (let's hope it really does!)
Thanks for your help; don't think I have not listened to your opinions, which
have been really valuable.
Regards,
JOSE
