I have gotten a nice offer on a used Agilent E4432B (No Opts)
I have 10Mhz so i don't need the OCXO , but i think it's Tnut-Grade
equipment.
I can get it for approx 1500 US$ delivered on my doorstep (EU) , this is
not a bad price. Considering a US buy would be + shipping & 25% VAT on
unit+ship.
I'm a bit worried about the number of attenuator cycles , is that thing
on a ESG D (Digital) , unbreakable ?
I just got some picts that i have uploaded here
http://tinyurl.com/pxsdsu8
It has been put to good use ...
On time : 45918 hr's , 658 pwr-cycles , and 1701932 attenuator cycles.
But NO reverse pwr trips .....
The Spect analyser picts i don't think i can fully decode.
I suppose (hope) the attenuator is electronic , and "unbreakable" in the
ESG D series ....
Hope someone can give some advice , especially if the attenuator cycles
is something to be worried about.
TIA
