Re: HP8568A strange problems
Oh, good point, George. On the 8568A, that connector on the RF unit can be recessed quite a way... Now I remember that I had strange problems when I first got the 'A' RF unit, one of which was the

Re: HP8568A strange problems
Ed,Check the 50-pin micro-ribbon connector on the "Bus Interconnect Cable" between the RF and IF units. Dirty contacts can cause intermittent problems. Use a little IPA or Deoxit. The 50-pin d-sub end

Re: HP8568A strange problems
Still no good - the sweep stopping is back. So much for all my hypotheses. At least the IF button problem seems resolved. Next time I will put in a bunch of test points to see WTH is going on in

Re: HP8568A strange problems
Well, I'm not quite out of the woods yet. It was looking good, so of course I had to mess with it. I was hoping this was the grand solution to everything, but it had no effect on the problem of some

Re: HP8568A strange problems
They must have all been tossed on the "useless cables and unidentifiable objects trash pile" by the liquidators. Not many here in the US either. I think figuring the generic edge connector needed is

Re: HP8568A strange problems
Update: May have found the problem. It was quite cold out again last night, so I figured I'd run it for a while, with the garage doors open to keep it chilly. As expected, the 8568 worked just fine

Re: Source of 1.0/2.3 50R coaxial connectors for E44xx series
Hi Leo, I guess you found that Molex list them in 50 ohm, don't know who might be a UK distributor for them though. Have you come across Cambridge Electronic Industries? They're just down the road

Is there a source of 50 Ohm impedance DIN 1.0/2.3 RF connectors that Agilent seem to be using on their E44xx series instruments? I can only find 75R versions used in broadcasting industry. I am making
