Lamont,
Download the manual, look at the matching network. You will see how easily you can make it selectable for 50 or 75 or whatever tweaks your tuner. There may be several illustrations for different available networks, depends on ordered options. I suggest you read the manual or you will be scratching your head why things do not work the way you think they should. Look at 3586C, that has clearly the 50 / 75 selectable diagram you may want to use, or not!

I waiting to get it, I 'm pretty excited, but also
concerned it will need repair.
In the listing I note is the display has error code of?
CE-1. The manual says,
"Operator error, Attempt made to Manualy change the
FULL SCALE while in Auto Range"
So I hope that is not a real problem.
? I will be changing the WECO input connectors to BNC.
I note the unit is 75 ohm, I'll be working with
50 ohms.Is it wise to put a 50 ohm to 75 ohm L pad internal
when I install the BNC connector?
And then note, "all measurements are MINUS5.72
DB".
?What would I add/subtract if I just plugged a 50
source into the 75 ohm input?
???????????????????????
Thanks, Lamont
