I think I might still have one or two.? Of course they are perfectly safe unless you mistreat them, and that applies to so many things.? I'm always on the lookout for Hg in old thermostats, etc.?

Time is also a problem to long in the tank is a guaranteed over etch.

Radu, Totally agree. I have spent some time in what we will call heavy industry. It is one thing to know that a Tek 576 can light you up with 1500 Vdc and might kill you. It is QUITE another to stand

Dave, Eric! (as I've known you as Zen over emails), Agewise, I'm probably right between you two, though I'll wager far closer to Eric than Dave. Likely at least the same generation. I've been doing

So the challenge you run into when building replacement modules ( and I am entertaining the idea right now for the power amplifier MIC in the 8753 sources ) is that first of most microwave circuits

Re: BS, was Re: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] Spread the word -- Swap Meet Returns!
Whether or not a board under etches traces, or over etches traces is entirely dependent on the resist used. Insulating resists don't create any fields in the tank, so they tend to over etch the

A few words on FR-4 and RF boards , FR-4 generally ¡°works¡± ok for RF boards up to 2GHz but if you use coupled microstrip filters or directional couplers you are going to have the time of your life

Re: Agilent 3458A Troubleshooting
You can get the clip from Artekmedia. The first step is always to check all the low voltage power supply voltages. The calibration on the 3458a just needs a precision 10 volt reference and an accurate

Definitely true for garden-variety FR-4 board material.? For serious microwave work, say >6GHz, you'd want a more stable material, like those made by Roger's, Isola, etc.Jim FordSent from my T-Mobile
