Re: HP 8350B sweeper behaviour
The battery is the first place I go on getting a new 8350. I have scrapped too many to risk losing a good one. The other possibility is the dip switches on the plugin and the adapter. They are not

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behaviour
Hi Yves, here are my results. 1) HP 83522A set as yours, also about the same parameters on my SA. The trace is similar, but much noisier than yours. 2) Hp 86222B (same frequency range) plugged in

Re: 8510C System Bus Address Error
Hi folks, problem solved. Previously, I only checked the GPIB addresses of present instruments. I have now set the GPIB addresses of not-connected units (like the second source which I don't have) to

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behaviour
The 8350B sweeper has a nicad battery (BT1), ...borrowed from the HP35 calculator family... mounted on the inside panel of the sweeper plugin compartment. By design, it gets trickle charged to

Re: HP 3400A Upgrade PCBs Available
The original boards with edge connectors were nickel or gold plated, the ones I saw on ebay looked to be HASL, this could be a problem with the gold edge connector sockets, a warning from an ex-HP

I contacted the seller who is currently out of stock. He replied that he will get new PCBs in about a week. I asked him to offer it ?worldwide¡° on eBay which should make it searchable on ebay.com

Re: OT Weinschel/Aeroflex 8310 programmable attenuator
Sadly, your comment rings so true... HP may have indeed used Weinschel attenuators, back in the days when Bruno Weinschel was still alive. Weinschel is a shell of what it used to be, not the quality

Re: HP 3400A Upgrade PCBs Available
If the eBay seller has not enabled (at extra cost!) the ability to list outside the host eBay - .com, .de,.uk or whatever - a search by listing number from 'outside' will not find it. I don't know if

Re: HP 3400A Upgrade PCBs Available

Re: 4195A restoration adventure*
Thats something I do quite often, and I think its not risky if you take a lab supply and limit current to some intelligent value. More than once I had shorted caps that drew most of the current. That

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behaviour
;-) When I turn the unit on it shows two frequencies, one on each dial, corresponding to the upper and lower limit of the module. That must be encoded somewhere in the plugin. The older module has

Hi Martin, You wrote "Only the 83522A is greeted by the frame with 8.4GHz instead of 2.4.". No doubt the dip switch near the left front of the 83522A is incorrectly positioned. If you have an

Re: OT Weinschel/Aeroflex 8310 programmable attenuator
I do prefer the HP 11713A (I have 2 of them) and the 84XX attenuators (I have an 8494H and an 8495H). I've actually accidentally dropped one of the attenuators, and it's still working perfectly! Not

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behaviour
