Thanks. I'll try to disassemble the unit, then I hope I'll see the

Re: HP-8443A Tracking Generator Problems
You don't even have to select zero span. The function and
purpose of a TG is to output, at all times, whatever frequency
the SA is listening to. As the SA scans, so does the TG.
In all scan modes,

Lets go back to the basics,

Re: HP-8443A Tracking Generator Problems
Hi,
The marker blip, when using an 8443A with the 141T, is simply the
trace stopping for the blinking of an eye. The marker intensity
control just varies how long it stops for - there is no 'Z'
