[R-390] Spectrum Analyzer status

[frankshughes at aim.com]

Hi,
Thanks for all the advice and tips, very informative.
The Spectrum Analyzer arrived! 


Now I just have to learn how to use it. (the fun part)


Thanks to KZ5AW, I bought one of these: http://www.amtronix.com/e8285a.htm


I was originally trying to buy a 141T that was being offered locally (no shipping costs or damage), but someone beat me to it.


So the E8285A was plan "B"


The unit is calibrated and all tuned up, ready to go, so no complaints.


I subsequently joined the Yahoo "hp_agilent_equipment" group for old equipment, after looking around my shack and
realizing that there are about equal amounts of old HP and old Collins gear. 


What is it about Collins R-390A & R-390's that goes so well with vintage HP equipment? 
They all seem to go together, somehow.
