Looking for HP 85662a display unit

 

I just scored an HP 8568b SA, but I didn't get the display
unit with it.

Does anyone have an HP 85662a they'd want to part with? Repairable
is OK.

thanks

Hi all,

Many times, I will send an email to this list and it will literally never arrive. So I have taken to posting messages directly into the Yahoo user interface especially for messages with links (it seems that if my email has links that it is more likely to never arrive to the list). Today I posted a message directly into the yahoo UI and it never appeared (when I say appeared, I mean looking at the messages directly on the yahoo website).

Does anyone know who the owner of this list is (I have emailed list-owner many times with no response in the past)? Does anyone know if messages are moderated, if, say, they contain links?
I am a moderator on other groups. (two, to be exact). If a message
is sent by someone moderated, the messages arrives at my email box as
a part of a larger message telling me that has posted and
message and as the person is moderated, the message must be approved.

I must go to the website and approve (or otherwise classify) the
message, or I can reject it by email (but not approve by email). The
message expires in 14 days.

There is no criteria for moderating a person based on the content of
his/her message, although it's possible to label some messages as
spam. (they show up in a separate folder on the website).

The moderation is based on a particular yahoo sender, nothing else.

You either are, or are not.

Hope this helps a bit.

Re: making 50 ohm measurements with a 75-ohm s-parameter test set

 

Hi Bryan:

Do the cal at the antenna end of the cable (I'm assuming the VNA is inside).
That way the cable is not part of the measurement.

Have Fun,

Re: HP 6034L troubleshooting

 

Turns out all the issues were due to a leaking 220uF 50V cap for the -12V on the power mesh board. Threw a new one in, and the power supply is happy again. Total cost of the repair was under 1$... I initially thought it was a bad op amp on the A2 board as both the -12/+15 lines were low. I should of probed the unregulated DC lines first...

IIRC The L version was for low line voltage input. It had somewhat reduced output specs. I would chase down the low voltage on the +15VDC and -12VDC. Is there any ripple on them?

I have acquired a 6034L GBIB system power supply with a bit of an issue. As soon as I power it up, it goes into CC Limit mode with the CV normal LED blinking very fast. I can adjust the voltage output only till about 35Vdc, after that the output gets unstable, and the UNREGULATED LED lights up. I cannot adjust the current output, which is stuck at 420mA on the units display. Default voltage when powered up is 370mV. This is with no load connected to the output terminals and the sens terminal strapped to the output.

The power-up self test passes, but if I initiate the complete self test mode, it seems to fail Power Mesh Mode Error 5.

I checked the voltages on the A2 control board and the +15 and -12 Vdc are a little low at +12 and -9Vdc. +5, +15 and -12 Voltages are normal on the A3 front panel board. The control voltages from the DAC for the CC and CV modes all seem to vary from 0 to 5V when I vary the front encoder in both CC and CV modes.

I can't find any documentation on the L version, but do have and have been going by the A version manual. Not sure what the differences are though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi David,

Thanks for the detailed info on cal and measurements. I will keep your solution in mind, but for now I am going to try to piece together "standards" accurate enough for my amateur radio antenna measurements. I am sure it will take me a good deal of time and experimentation to confirm I have good standards, but that is part of the fun.

Hi Brooke,

Thanks much for the Mini Circuits suggestion and the info on your web page. I decided to experiment with this approach using a ZFDC-10-2-N coupler, which has excellent directivity in my range of interest (up to 450 MHz).

So far, the results have been very encouraging! I am seeing RL of ~ 50 dB after calibration with my reference load connected. Of course, the accuracy of my cal "standards" still questionable, but at least this gives me an idea what is possible. A definite advantage of this approach compared to using the 75-ohm test set + matching pads is the better response measurement range, since there is less attenuation in the path.

Bryan

Hi Bryan:

You might get a Mini Circuits ZFDC-10-1 coupler. See:

and

Note the marker is near the 50 MHz vertical line and the line just to it's right is 100 Mhz because of the LOG frequency
scale.
The vertical line over the "0" in POWER 0 dBm" is 100 kHz and above that frequency you can see over 40 dB return loss.

Have Fun,

HP8566B tracking with a HP83620A

DENICE
 

Does anyone know if it is possible to get these 2 units to track together. I want to be able to use some directional couplers and sweep some feedhorns and antennas. I have looked everywhere on the net and can not find any info on doing this. HP used to be able to interface most of their equipment together to be able to do this...anyone out there know of a easy way?

Sorry for the silence on this one guys

After reading the comments it is pretty clear to me that most of the
respondents don't really appreciate the problems associated with
scanning this pile of docs... no offense intended.

The other factor is that as I began dragging this stuff out it became
pretty clear to me that it is likely more than 1000 pages.

So in round one I will go back over the the list of volunteers and pick
3 tomorrow . I will then split the initial package into 3 piles and send
a pile to each of you , if after you get through the initial package you
still want to play I will send you additional piles. If you decide it
was more thna you thought and you just really dont have the time , no
harm no foul

Perhaps this is a different No.12 but the ones I am familiar with are small bi-post lamps with the same voltage and current as a No.47. These are available and not expensive. Beside being used as pilot lamps they are also found in the Drake TR-4 in series with the receiving antenna line as an input stage protector.
I don't remember where I got mine, probably Amazon but try Bulbman or one of the other web lamp stores.

HP 851B Spectrum Analyzer Display FREE (Just pay shipping)

 

Hello all,

I have an HP 851B spectrum analyzer display section. This is the first wide band calibrated spectrum analyzer from HP, a real classic! Compared to modern units, its big and heavy, but it still has great capabilities. It goes all the way up to 12 ghz.

Unfortunately, I don't have the whole analyzer, just the IF/Display portion.

The full working spectrum analyzer is two units: The 851B and the RF section, the 8551B.

Without the 8551B, the display is not of much use to me. I might consider picking up an 8551B (they come up on eBay once in a while and are not terribly expensive) but I don't have the space.

I want to get rid of the 851B, but I can't bring myself to throw it away. These units are well built, solid and a classic example of good American engineering. This once cost someone an arm and a leg to buy new.

I'd like to give it to a good home. If you are interested in a spectrum analyzer, this is a good start. You should be able to track down the 8551B without spending too much.

I should note: I don't have the power cable and I can't fully test it even if I did. It worked last time it was used a few years ago, but I'm going to have to put it up "AS-IS"

I live in Hamden, CT. If you can get to my area to pick it up, it's yours for free. If not, you will have to pay to pack and ship it. This will probably run somewhere around $75 in the US.

Here is some info:





I can provide some pictures if you are interested. The unit is in good shape. A few minor cosmetic defects, which you would expect for its age.

Anyone interested?
Re: Anyone used Eglink in Korea for test equipment?

 

Perhaps that is it. My merchant account was a third party
affair, as are all merchant accounts... nobody, but maybe a
Costco, is big enough to have a direct link into the association.

I can't imagine anyone signing an agreement that didn't make
the third party (bank) responsible for stolen cards. That
would be very risky. The whole point of CC's is to insure the
risk by the vendor paying a discount.

The one area that always worried me most was the dishonest
credit card owner... not the credit card thief.

There are a lot of clever cheats out there.

I think sometimes scenario's like you describe take on a life of their

Back when I had a merchant account, and was selling things internationally
using credit cards, that exact situation was described in the FAQ they
gave me, and they said I was protected as long as I followed the procedure
outlined in my merchant agreement.

Basically, my 100% foolproof insurance against such things happening was
to use my CC terminal. When I put in the CC number, it asked me for
the billing address of the card, and depending on whether it was Visa
or MC, the CCID from the back of the card. After I entered the information,
they either gave me a confirmation number, or denied the transaction.

If I didn't get a confirmation number, I didn't do the sale.

The only way I could get into trouble was if the customer filed a dispute
with the CC company saying that I didn't deliver the goods, or they were
defective... something like that. At that point, I would have to provide
proof of delivery, or the customer would have to provide proof that the
goods were defective, or not as described.
