Re: 3457a on the way
If the 'SELF TEST OK' message appears, there is no need to make any
'adjustments'. Just do the 'front panel CAL' if needed.

Re: 3457a on the way
What do you use as a "House CAL" that is almost good enough for the
8.5 digit 3458A?
That's a seriously accurate (and seriously expensive), multi-meter.

Re: What is a good shortwave radio to use with HP 8568B SA?
Thank you for all your responses. I think I'm going to pursue the SDR
