[Test-Equipment] wiltron 560A ???

[Eugene Hertz]

Hello all,

New to the list and fairly new to test equipment.  I've been interested in getting a *cheap* spectrum analyzer for HF and general electronics testing/design assistance work.  I probably only need a few hundred megs upper limit, 1GHz would be great.

I've been keeping an eye out for something <$300 and I found something called a wiltron 560A, but I have no idea what it really is or what it could be used for.  I found a description of it here: http://www.tucker.com/java/jsp/doorway_partnoWTN560A_invid7762.htm

but I still cant figure out if this can be used like a typical spectrum analyzer and/or tracking generator combo or something. 

Anyone know what this unit can and cannot do? (Also, the one I located has no probes or detectors, but I dont know how big a deal that will be).

Thanks for any and all advice
Eugene
