I agree with that. I have an HP 3586A Selective Voltmeter and it has the LO output on the rear which covers 0-32 MHz. I wish there was a programmable attenuator on this output as it is exceptionally clean spectrally. Of course, there is no modulation capability. Didier KO4BB Magnus Danielson w

Hi Xaos: It may have worked fine and just had a rear output modification. But the missing connector on the front is why the price was so low. Have Fun, Brooke Clarke -- w/Java http://www.PRC68.com w/o Java http://www.pacificsites.com/~brooke/PRC68COM.shtml http://www.precisionclock.com xaos

Well, except for the fact that it had no output it was fine ;) Seriously, though. $100.00 is a bargain for that box. If you got lucky and the bad parts were not some custom jobs you'd have a very nice function generator. Looks like I have to pay a bit more though... -George > > Here's one that

Hi John: It's my recollection (and so subject to bad memory) that the 3325's claim to fame is that the amplitude is settable in steps of 0.01 dB. Also the amplitude accuracy is very good. Because of this the 3325 is still called out as part of the required test equipment needed to calibrate ot

I've always been curious about the 3325A vs. B -- there is more price spread between those two than just about any other HP A vs. B model. What's the difference between them, and is it worth anything like that much (obviously, Mike doesn't think so :-) ). I've been happy with my A model, though
