Re: DIY: Repair of HP Step Attenuators
Measure the coil resistance and drive voltage.? It may be that the drive is weak and it's not getting enough coil current, either due to coil resistance increase or drive signal decrease.

Re: What is a good shortwave radio to use with HP 8568B SA?
Pretty much any shortwave radio that tunes 21.4 MHz and the modes you want should work. Sensitivity is not an issue as the IF output on the rear is a high level (you'd likely need an attenuator).
