I paid more than twice that just for shipping.? But yeah, keep your eye out and you can get one pretty cheap.

The HP 8901B Modulation Analyzer combines four

I think nicely integrated for budget bench set for
Ham operator. My unit set me back whopping $25.
Not necessary in my opinion if all you measure is power.

Does the 8901B have any advantage besides integration
over a 437/8 power meter when using a 8480 series power
sensor?
The 8901B is a very
large and heavy instrument which to me needs some
justification to be at my bench.

E1 is invalid key sequence if calibration is pressed while

8480 series sensors work with your unit, high priced 11722A
not required.
If you have option 10, connect calibrator output to input,
select AM, push
calibrate and wait, takes about 20 seconds, do the same with
FM, display
reading will be 99.0 to 101.0%

Hi all,
I have an 8901B here that I use to
measure power with, using the internal power detector
and
*not* the fancy external 11722A sensor.
When I have nothing connected to the
input, and I press the zero key, I get an Error
21.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong,
and how to zero the internal power level
sensor?
Cheers,
Matt
