Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
Here's what you should see on a smith chart with a start frequency of 1 MHz and a stop frequency of 2 MHz when resonated at 1.45 MHz with a 187pF cap and with a series 50R resistor inline.

Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
If it helps add some confidence to this stuff, I used the air cored solenoid model in Genesys to predict the inductance and Q vs frequency for your coil. 49 turns 31mm diameter length 22mm wire

Re: HP 6114A - looking for R8A, 15.82K 0.1% 1ppm resistor
I asked for the 1206 size as I only needed 1/8W and the price was less. Here's the part https://webdirect.texascomponents.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VSMP%5F1206%5FCUSTOM%5F0%2E01 Looks like I

Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
If I go with what you posted earlier I can assume that your current tank coil has 49 turns on a 31mm OD former using 0.4mm diameter wire (close wound) I can punch these numbers into the software

Re: HP 6114A - looking for R8A, 15.82K 0.1% 1ppm resistor
That's surprising to me - I hope they're not changing their business model. I've been able to order single parts at my exactly specified value to two decimals before, on the Z201 variety. Is this what

Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
Hi jmr, Well, it's an interesting methodology for sure. I do have a Nanovna which I bought purely for evaluation purposes, but I have two proper lab-grade HP VNAs as well. Can't recall the model

Re: Sticky ink of schematics
Personally, I have found that the laser printer at home doesn't do this while the ones at work and in the print shop I use do --- the difference may be that the one at home is black+white only and is

That is correct, the firmware is the same for both. I have used exactly this firmware to update my 8341B without issues.

Re: HP 8594E PSU repair/debug safety checklist
Hi Group check the power switch they tend to fail on those. if the PSU is faulty contact me on OZ11LPR@... I have alot of parts for those units. It is a pain to work on that powersupply type.

Like Chuck said, laser printed items tend to stick to other stuff over time. I haven't seen it too bad from one paper sheet to another, but definitely from paper to plastics, or (toner sides) face to

Re: HP 8341B 1992 firmware version
There is no differences in CPU board and firmware between 8340B and 8341B. Calibration constants 79 and 98 must 2 for 8340B and 5 for 8341B, according to service manual.

Don't get too enamored with tracing out and debugging your power supply, 9 times out of 10, the problem will be simply a case of bad electrolytic capacitors. I am not being casual with my statistics,
