Re: HP8970 Controller/ROM
It's a B. Are the ROMs interchangeable?
The 8970 isn't here at the moment - do you know what type the ROM ICs are?
Thanks,

Ok, they came through ok...
It's an 8970B. Do you know if the ROMs for the A and B are interchangeable?

Re: HP8970 Controller/ROM
Ok, thanks.
I'll bear that in mind...
Do you know if the ROMs are interchangeable between the A and the B?
Mine's an 8970B.

Re: DIY 11667A Power Splitter, resistor placement?
I don't think you need to give up just yet... a lot depends on what performance level you want across LF to 3GHz.
If you are OK with about 20dB return loss (maybe even 25dB) at 3GHz and about 0.05dB

Re: Some 3458A questions
If I understand the prefix it's 2 digits added to 1962 and the week in which it was produced In which case the 3458A on ebay at $3k indicates that they made 5484 that week I have 2823A00313 and the

Nice work! That LCD looks great, and I might just have to grab some of those TO-220 sockets too.

Re: Another 3GHz 53132-68003 Chanel 3 option design for the 53131A and 53132A
Awesome.
I think the easiest next experiment would be to remove one of the doubled-up diodes in each of the two places, and check the frequency response at the upper end.

And, success!
With the same prescaler and bias network as used by HP, the option board works!
I bought the prescaler chips from Aliexpress, they came loose in a non ESD plastic bag, s I was a bit
