Hello Robert
Now all I have to do is figure a way of using the RF Tools on the
PCMCIA card I recently bought on a 8920A rather than the 8920B I
was hoping to get.
The sticker on the rear has serial No 3427Uxxxxx and the start
screen has the manufacture date as 1990-94.
Attached screen shot for the installed options.
Thank you for the advice :-)
I'd prefer an internal attenuator but I already have a big feck
off external attenuator available if I need it.
Best Regards
Danny G7TTR

Hi Danny,
You got that one for a good price. Our friends across the pond pay
a lot more than $1025 :-)
You should run the IODIAG2 test from the ROM
tests list if it is present in your test set's firmware. It
gives lower level information on the hardware installed.
The parallel I/F option may not be applicable to your unit
depending on what standard of hardware is fitted. In any case a
serial to USB adaptor is probably more useful for screen capture
to a PC unless you have a parallel printer already. There is a
handy serial screen capture utility, BTS, that works OK.
It is probably better (and cheaper) to use an external power
attenuator than fit the 100W option. duming that extra 40W into
the test set does not help reliability.
