Hi, Danny.
R&S could be more of a wet dream than HP, depending on the model!
Back at the late, great Powerwave in the early 2000's, HP/Agilent spectrum analyzers were on most engineers' benches, but the R&S units were few and far between, due to the cost.
Same at Broadcom (2006 to 2016) during my stint there, come to think of it.

Subject: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] What would you do if you had some test equipment with Serial No: 0000001?
Hello All
I don't often post to the list, but I do read its traffic with interest :-)
It's not a piece of HP test equipment before anyone has a "wet dream".
Its a piece of Rhode & Schwarz test equipment that I rescued from a skip
which was destined to go to landfill.
By rights I shouldn't have done it, but I managed to get permission from
my line manager to take it away as there was nothing classified about
it. That organisations policy was everthing gets crushed and dropped
into a landfill,? rather than relieve the bruden on the tax payers and
sell expensive usable test equiment onto small businesses and private
individuals.
It still works, but its MMI has a few bugs and I was thinking of putting
on Ebay (my head says Yes!).
But my heart says I should hold onto it, as its a rare beast.
Best Regards
Danny G7TTR
