Hi Jack,
It is just not true that stand alone Tek spectrum analyzers are not discussed here. The 490 series of spectrum analyzers are freely discussed. I suspect a partial explanation for why they don't appear to be discussed very often is they tend to be among the most expensive scopes there are. Certainly the SA Plugins are expensive and they hold their value for a very long time.
One of the experts on the 490 series is our own John Miles who has written quite a lot of software for various instruments which you can download from his web site at

I would appreciate some general thoughts on Tektronix stand alone Spectrum Analyzers. Other than the plugins for 7000 and 5000 series scopes I never see them discussed here. The H-P group seems to have a love/hate relationship with the ones from H-p. There are always a few being worked on. How serviceable are the ones from Tek? Are they so reliable so as not to need repair often or are they impossible to repair? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack Reynolds
