Re: HP8565 hacking/mods
Keep in mind that there's no benefit to digitizing post-detected trace signals (x and y) at rates beyond the bandwidth of the widest video filter, typically a few MHz at most. And if you digitize the

Re: Hp-8443A Tracking Generator Problems
you might want to try ebay, another way is to find the connectors or strip them out of a old unit and then make a PCB board for it, all you need is the spacing for the board. If you dont have any

Re: Hp-8443A Tracking Generator Problems
the coax contacts are made by ITT Cannon as well as some other companies, you can buy them from mouser, digi key or pasternack, the only problem is that they are crimped on the outside so you need a

Re: Hp-8443A Tracking Generator Problems
I guess I have to amend my posting and apologize to HP. I misread the drawing for the SMB connector and in fact these connectors are SMB. They are not "goofy". Also, I think I have located a 500

Re: Hp-8443A Tracking Generator Problems
It turns out they are 50 Ohm SMBs. Interestingly SMBs have become a lot more common (and cheaper) recently because of GPS and wireless networking and extension cables and adapters are now readily

Re: Hp-8443A Tracking Generator Problems
Gentlemen, I have two HP 8443 tracking generators, one is an "A" model with the counter and one is a "B" model without the counter. Both use SMB connectors on the coaxes that interconnect the

Re: HP8565 hacking/mods
ok , you got me confused here, the 8565 does not have a storage pcb since it uses a storage CRT , as far as connecting a digitizer that should be fairly easy, as far as i remember the 8565 has a

Re: Can 8568 be used without display unit?
There are several guys on ebay selling 8566/68 parts every now and then (playerservices for example) you might be able to find a interface card fairly cheap, also try best offers on fastscrap's items,

Re: HP8565 hacking/mods
Hi John, Yes I have seen that unit - I was pondering something more sophisticated. Along the lines of 100MSa/s to FPGA to digitize x,y or if and an embedded web-server to get the data out. I

Re: HP8565 hacking/mods
Thanks! You should probably check out the Nov-Dec '07 QEX article by Roland Cordesses: http://roland.cordesses.free.fr/san2pc.html The 8565 is similar enough to the 141T (basically a newer, more

Hi fellow hp'ers, I'm the new owner of a HP8565 SA and think its pretty good. However, the hacker in me is already pondering modding it. In particular, I have been thinking of replacing the storage

Re: Can 8568 be used without display unit?
John and Lothar, Thanks very much for your comments...you convinced me to forget interconnecting the 8568b/141t...not worthed. The long story is that I bought the 8568B without 85662A on ebay,

I have tried running those YTOs past 10 GHz, and what happens is that they just stop oscillating beyond a certain point (about 10.3 GHz as I recall). If you bolt the oscillator to a good thermal sink

thanks for the datasheet, unfortunatly it doesnt give a max current for the coil, the part i have says 8.5-9.25GHz it tunes to 8GHz @ 150mA however i dont know if this is acceptable for long term
