Re: 3457A and other meter low resistance tips?
I was moved from CT to FL by Dictaphone (Melbourne), and from FL to CO
by StorageTek. Of the three, I prefer Melbourne. Some day I may go back.

Re: 3457A and other meter low resistance tips?
You do get a 25K discount off the assessed value of your house for
property tax purposes if you live in it (and it's the primary
residence). Depending on your age, there might be other discounts

Re: Frequency / Function Generator for the Hamshack
Jeff,
The 8662A is a very nice low phase noise box with sweep up to 1280MHz but is very heavy (hard to ship) and not so reliable or easy to fix. I have 2 working units plus a parts carcass. I have

Re: Frequency / Function Generator for the Hamshack
Hi Jeff,
Look for a working 8648A. I like the clean, simple operational front panel control of these units. Has all the features needed for HF, VHF and UHF work to 1GHz.

Re: Frequency / Function Generator for the Hamshack

Hi Jeff,
I can strongly recommend the 8642B although its frequency range substantially exceeds the 2 meter band. That unit is my favorite for receiver work and it will meet all the criteria you
