Where to sell HP8924C-working unit
Good morning from Pinellas County, Fl. Just was wondering where would be the best place to sell my HP8924C (working condition). Power supply caps are good to go and the unit is fully functioning.

Re: Looking for spectrum analyzer boards for the HP 8920A
The receiver for the earlier 8920A units is a bit different but will still work in the 8920B. It may give errors because you can't transfer the cal data too. What you need to do is just swap the

Re: Looking for spectrum analyzer boards for the HP 8920A
If you look at the RF I/O you should see an MMIC or two used for the higher ranges. Those may be weak in both units. You could look at the RF I/O output? using single step on the RX diag section and

Re: Looking for spectrum analyzer boards for the HP 8920A
I read page 645 in the Assembly Level documentation which describes the Receiver Assembly test: I should be able to measure the 114.3 and 614.3 MHz-signal levels on various places on these modules to

Re: Looking for spectrum analyzer boards for the HP 8920A
Aaaah! I did not realize that there is a DB-9 connector on the bottom of the SA module between the P1 and P3 connectors! I see that now when I look at the schematics and the picture showing the

Re: Looking for spectrum analyzer boards for the HP 8920A

Re: Looking for spectrum analyzer boards for the HP 8920A
Hi Rick Yes I have run the full RF_diags suite and it reports in total 6 failures, 5 of them in the receiver assembly test and one in the spectrum analyzer test. SA module has one fail (I have option

Re: Looking for spectrum analyzer boards for the HP 8920A
