Re: 8924c 60/100 watt upgrade kit


 

Yes - I saw those pads on eBay and that was what I did with the one 8924c that was upgraded.? You got a pad where you removed the one that was there and soldered in the new one which had the higher attenuation and the heatsink was the same meaning you used the one you had.? There was a PCMCIA calibration card that came with it where you uploaded some data.? Unfortunately I do not know much about what was uploaded.? I guess knowing the attenuation you could just do the same offset in the settings and that is all?? ?Maybe that is what uploading that data from the card did.
?
Checking the fit would be important with this indeed.? I do not see any files that show how to replace the pad but from what I recall it was not difficult other than removing a zillion screws (exaggeration somewhat - not too much) to get to the heatsink.? I do see in the files the use of an external attenuator and how to set that up.
?
I was just curious if those kits on ebay still existed somewhere.? Probably most went the route of the external attenuator which is fine since its not like you are going to worry about the 8924C being "less portable" than it is having to connect the attenuator and cables to test.? It stays on the table or bench and that is it.

There are some on ebay for about $ 30 .? This may not be the one you need, but similar.? You have to check the physical size to see if it will fit in.
