I have one and I highly recommend it. It is just like an HP-8920B only it does CDMA testing, so you don't have to use that portion of it. Be warned, it weighs 70 pounds and is not exactly a field unit.
Without the high power option it is only rated to 2W on the RF In/Out port. Option 060 brings this up to 60 Watts continuous, 120 watts for 10 seconds. The spectrum analyzer ports are only rated to 200mW. On 4/24/07, Tim and Janet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I saw a past post about the HP8924C service monitor/CDMA test set. What are your thoughts about this unit? I would like to have my own service monitor but can't justify the high cost of the other portable units. I have seen some of these HP8924C units at a more reasonable price. My plans for the unit would be to help maintain our 220 repeater/duplexers. The repeater is currently located at my home. I would of course prefer to have the high power option but am not familiar enough with this type of test equipment to determine if it would fullfill my needs without adding other test equipment. I am unsure if the unit fits my needs. I do have a HP8642 signal generator as well as other general test equipment. Is this unit what I need or does it have a shortcoming? Anyone using one currently?
