hi Bob, wish I had your patience and Money :-) Or maybe you have mine lol...
I guess you're in one camp or the other, I'll stick to Agilent. I could never get used to reverse polish logic either, despite being told how much better it was.... As for a click receiver, check out the PMM, I have, it's a 3rd the cost of R and S, and every bit as good.... Make that better cos' I'm not worrying about the $8k repair bill for the R&S every time I hook something up. Cheers, Derek. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Richards <b...@toprudder.com> To: emc-p...@ieee.org Sent: Tue, Feb 15, 2011 8:45 pm Subject: Re: Considering a consultant to help with semi-anechoic chamber relocation and performance improvements --- On Tue, 2/15/11, Derek Walton <lfresea...@aol.com> wrote: <snip>..... my point was about perception. As for the R&S? Thats an opinion formed by using it, perhaps the best opinion? Derek, I use a R&S ESI almost every day. I love it. Yes, it is expensive, but it did not come out of MY paycheck. :-) (Well, maybe it did?? :-( It took a couple of months of using it before I decided I liked it more than the Agilent 7405 (which I still like). The 7405 has a much easier user interface, which helps if you are only an occasional user, and it also has a built-in help system (which includes the GPIB commands for every function - which I REALLY like). The R&S ESI has a clunky user interface, but after you get used to performing the repetitive operations with it, you can fly through measurements with it. In receiver mode, it can display peak, QP and average measurements all at once. We are considering buying another R&S soon. We need a 55014 click analyzer and one of the R&S models has that function built in.
