Re: 3457a on the way
Thanks Dave, I actually have watched those videos. Bit drawn out like most of his videos..but still good. Too much detail is not always a bad thing.
As for the 3457A, if it works I plan on getting it

Re: HP 8551 Spectrum Analyzer FS or trade?
Based on warranty statements of other HP BWO gear, it looks like filament failure is the primary cause, maybe preceded by instability of some type. The Stewart BWOs had a warranted filament life of 18

Re: HP 11660A Shunt for HP 8556A
There was one on Ebay. I bought it. It has a shunt impedance of 50 ohms and a series impedance of zero ohms....Looks just like a 11048C to me...I don't understand.

I have similar stuff in high-performance Mil stuff. The SMAs were all

Re: HP 8551 Spectrum Analyzer FS or trade?

Re: 3562A Analyzer
Hello Chuck,
That's good news. I've seen various of these units with that message and it's always been an issue with the backup cell (or the test jumper)....!
