When Jim Ford replies from his Samsung phone, he wipes out all of the formatting. When he replies from his Windows box, (em client) formatting is preserved. His reply was the first to have destroyed

Hi Vladan, None of these were necessary :-) a screwdriver and some patience is all I can remember. This shows the difference in depth of the fans:

Re: 8510C: 8340B vs 83631B
Those people who post a single "Me too!" letters are mentally ill and it is a sin to insult them. Thou shalt forgive them; for they know not what they do... Your quoting is fine; it is somebody else

Thanks, Sergey. I have updated my "wishlist" HP 8340 entry to add "best with no options". BTW, do you see your own text below? When I reply, I see the previous text on my screen, and when I receive my

Option 007 is relaxed phase noise, page 1-10.? I guess James Bond wasn't concerned about phase noise!? 3 dB worse across the board except is the same at 100 kHz offset (not surprising as that's

Re: Load 8510C instead of 8530A in a 85101C
You must have meant 8350A sweeper, not the 8530A microwave receiver.?Good to know for the future when I put together an 8510 system.? I already have an 8350B, so that part is done.? That is, until

Re: Load 8510C instead of 8530A in a 85101C
Also be careful of the 8530A versions - some used an HP Propriety CPU (affectionately called the cylinder head) and require a memory board. Any failures in either of these and you are an orphan. Many

Re: 8510C: 8340B vs 83631B
Some of the 8340 series that were used with the 8510C have more phase noise than the "normal" unit - I think this is the Opt 5 version - be careful and try to avoid Opt 5 if you can - check the

Re: 8510C: 8340B vs 83631B
Actually VERY easy (but probably no more difficult than the 83631 - but less expensive). Connect the GPIB cables, assign the addresses, connect the sweeper to the test set and go. The attached PDF

Re: 8510C: 8340B vs 83631B
Interesting, Vladan, that the 8340/8341 synths share circuitry with the 8566 spec an. I figured the bottom part of the 8566 was pretty much just a synthesized sweeper anyway. I don't have an 8340 or

Re: 8510C: 8340B vs 83631B
Re: noise from vintage HP gear, I just fired up my 8566A spectrum analyzer, 8350B sweep oscillator , and 5343A frequency counter simultaneously as a test. Yeah, kind of noisy, but not unpleasant.
