Re: N9020A
If it helps promote how good these MXA analysers are, there is a nice hardware feature in the IF section of the PSA and the PXA and MXA analysers that helps when making critical dynamic range

Re: N9020A
I¡¯d hate to get by without the E4406A, that¡¯s for sure. It sees a lot of use these days looking at L-band signals. But speaking of image rejection¡­ LOL! You get 60-80 dB with the MXA,

Re: Is it worth looking for a R/3*2 Instrument Controller? - Feedback request
Hi Tony: When I was working many decades ago the cost of any of the HP RMB controllers was very high.? Then Sun came out with a diskless node workstation. HP responded with the 318 Diskless Unix

Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
I would've guessed that the dot marks the collector. At least that was the convention used on all the parts I encountered as a kid. The literature of the day often referred to "the collector dot". But

Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
The problem is there is no -12.6V. That sits a zero and I can't determine why. There is sufficient voltage at the collector of Q481. If Q481 were open that could cause it. If -12.6V was overloaded,

Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
Something about this is confusing me. Looking at the board, the transistors and diodes all have a dot at one lead. I was thinking that dot indicated the emitter and for some transistors, that holds.

Is it worth looking for a R/3*2 Instrument Controller? - Feedback request
Hey All, I've always wondered if I should try to acquire one of the R/3*2 Instrument Controllers (332, 362, 382) If anyone has one, would you be able to provide some feedback on how you use it and

Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
You should have more than 0.7V across BC of Q484 in normal operation, E is connected to the -12.6V output, B should be approx -12V and C +2V. Another common problem is some of the larger film

Re: Agilent E4404B Spectrum Analyzer With Dead PSU Repair
Uh, I've had three go so far just this year. The risk is surely higher in 240V-land, but I strongly advise replacing them on sight here too. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New

Re: N9020A
So what options should I look for in one of these MXA units? There are so many posts in the thread I can't find the one with the link to the well-optioned units. Peter

Re: N9020A
Some of the aliexpress sellers offer a bare metal MXA without all the options for $150. It could be a parts donor to upgrade an old MXA, but then how to add options?

Re: N9020A
The best advice I can offer is to look past the datasheet numbers for the SM435C and look at what is inside the box. It's a low IF receiver that will be prone to image issues just like the little

Yes, it was regarding the 180A repair. The 2n3904 I replaced has the EBC embossed on the flat and I made sure I placed the new one in correctly. Unlike the one pictured in the foreground, its base

Re: N9020A
It's difficult to compare the SH to the MXA because the MXA is a classic lab spectrum analyser with the emphasis on achieving low measurement uncertainty and excellent spurious free dynamic range. The
