[NLRS] [10GHzContest] SBMS Project challenge

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Do you have manuals? I have the same counter and have downloaded the 
manuals, I suspect from Agilent. About 52 MB total. I could burn a CD 
and mail it. Or put them on my web server for a while with a private 
address. My counter won't fire up so I have to work on it. I don't know 
if I have the 24 GHz option. By the operation manual, DL is Damage Level 
and the +24 and +25 dBm damage level comes from options 002 and 003.

73, Jerry, K0CQ
