Re: 8924C PSU failure
Thanks for the tip, Ralph. I actually had an old PDF from an unknown source, probably the old Yahoo groups, that I had kept. Gives details of what appears to be the same cap you described. 47uF 50V.

Re: 8924C PSU failure
I would replace all the electrolytics. The hard part is getting to them. Unless you just like removing all those screws. They are all the same age and once they start failing, they fall like dominoes.

My 8924C Radio Test Set must have sensed the presence of the 8920B downstairs. It's gone in a huff and won't turn on :-( 4 Philips and 32 Torx fasteners later and I've got the PSU out. Nothing on the

Re: Program to retrieve HP8920 calibration data...
Hi, Hank, your HP group.io moderator here. I favor, for important documenation, data, and software, the use of file storage rather than attachments.? Several reasons for that, none of which I'll go

Re: Program to retrieve HP8920 calibration data...
Hi @Angelo / ik0ibi I did not fully understand if you attached the cal data file in your post or into the files section? @Jeff and all others looking on how to calibrate the spectrum analyzer module.

Re: Program to retrieve HP8920 calibration data...
Hi, Not really. Cal data is stored in EEPROM and this program is only there to get to this cal data (if you are curious about how it looks...). If I'm correct Lithium battery on 8920A is only there
