CHECK OUT THE WIKI The purpose of the wiki is mainly to allow you to find information on instruments, either from either
- The model number
- The function(s) listed below. Some instruments have multiple functions - for example, the 4195A is a VNA, spectrum analyzer and an impedance analyzer. Therefore the 4195A is listed in multiple categories

Agreed, assuming the caqpacitors around the YIG tuning circuits are all up to spec. I've seen

Re: HP 437B Repair / Service Sheets
Do you have the sensor connected to a 50 ohm source (turned off) or pad?
Sometimes an open sensor input can make things jump around especially on
low ranges.
