Reliability of FieldFox portable VNAs, SAs and combination analyzers
Dr. David Kirkby from Kirkby Microwave Ltd
Some years ago I bought a CertiPrime N9923A from Agilent. It developed a hardware fault within a month or so. A week or so ago I was talking to a customer of mine, who said he had heard reports from several sources about poor reliability of FieldFox instrumentsSometime later, someone I know bought an N9912A combination analyzer. I checked that for him. The performance was poor as a VNA, (dynamic range is typically 49 dB at 5-6 GHz), but I understand the N9912A is only for basic measurements. But the instrument worked okay. Then, despite me knowing that the N9912A is not a good VNA, I got the chance to pick one up cheap and bought it. That was dead on arrival. I'm just wondering if others have experienced this problem. I guess it is going to be hard to get any hard facts about this, as I doubt Keysight will be publishing MTBF data. Having handled a couple of N9912As (SA+VNA), and one N9923A (VNA), I'm impressed with the build quality. But now I am starting to wonder how relieable these instruments are. They might be quite risky used purchases. -- Dr David Kirkby Ph.D C.Eng MIET Kirkby Microwave Ltd Registered office: Stokes Hall Lodge, Burnham Rd, Althorne, CHELMSFORD, Essex, CM3 6DT, United Kingdom.

Re: Machinable Potting Material ???
If you have a drill press, you can chuck a threaded screw and drill the tap hole for 4-40 by feeding the quill onto a drill bit held stationary in a chuck.? I used this technique to salvage an $85 air valve on a Toyota Tercel.
I'd broken a plastic teet off taking it off.? So I drilled the proper size hole in a length of a #10-24 screw, shaped the end with a file in the drill press, took it out.? I don't recall now if I used a tap or? cut a groove? to tap the plastic and.? I put epoxy on the threads and screwed it.? It worked like a charm. The principle here is that a rotating workpiece will cause the drill to follow the center of rotation.? You can see the setup I used here: It didn't aign as well as needed for the differential screw, but for your purpose it would be fine. |

I inadvertently sent the previous message before finish compiling it.? What happens next 1) Please stop posting here. If you require immediate support, join /g/HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment now. The instructions and description of the group are there. If you don't require immediate support, then just wait and should hopefully get subscribed automatically. I say hopefully because a message from says ======== IMPORTANT: Yahoo Groups has been very unreliable lately. We will do our very best, but there is a good chance that we may not be able to transfer all of your messages, photos or files. We will tell you which ones we were not able to transfer. Also, the migration queue is several days long at this point. Please be patient as we work through the backlog of tranfer requests. ======== 2) I will wait until at least 21:00 GMT on Sunday, August 19th before bouncing messages on the HP/Agilent Yahoo group. If messages are still coming in, due to delays in the mail system, I might leave it as late as 09:00 GMT on Monday 20th August before bouncing messages. 3) The following messages will probably be deleted, on Yahoo, as the author does not want them transferred. I'm trying to negotiate a possible solution to this, but those might be deleted, so read them now if you want them. There's not a huge amount of information. 4) I will start the copying of data from Yahoo to .

Re: Machinable Potting Material ???
How about these? Thread one onto the end of a long 4-40 screw, heat it and push it into a pre-drilled hole? Once the plastic cools, it shouldn't be able to move.
