Re: HP8565 hacking/mods
Hi John,
Yes I have seen that unit - I was pondering something more sophisticated. Along the lines of 100MSa/s to FPGA to digitize x,y or if and an embedded web-server to get the data out. I

Re: Can 8568 be used without display unit?
John and Lothar,
Thanks very much for your comments...you convinced me to forget
interconnecting the 8568b/141t...not worthed.
The long story is that I bought the 8568B without 85662A on ebay,

Re: Hp-8443A Tracking Generator Problems

If they ARE microdots, then it may be an option to recover a connector plus a short length of coax from surplus equipment-depending on what test lead(s?) you want to make up. Microdots were

John,
They are gold plated and have Teflon insulation. I'll send a couple of
pictures tomorrow. I hope you can identify them and give a source of
supply. What is your email address?

Re: Stellex YIGs
I have tried running those YTOs past 10 GHz, and what happens is that they
just stop oscillating beyond a certain point (about 10.3 GHz as I recall).
