Mine was missing the probe as well!  I made one using an old Heathkit 
oscilloscope probe body and a 5647 subminiature dual diode tube.  It worked 
great!

How accurate is it up to 30 mHz Sandy? Calibrated against what?

Hickok claims theirs is good to 100 mHz but no accuracy spec. Id hope it 
is at least comparable to a HP 410B at HF.

I have a Boonton 91C RF voltmeter and it agrees "close enough" with that!  I 
was surprised at how well the probe worked!  I tested it up to around 30 
Mhz.  Wasn't worried about higher since I had the 91C so I didn't test 
beyond 30 mhz.

Thanks Sandy. I just need something simple to accurately measure 
injection levels on HF projects. The 209A meter size is a big help these 
days!

That's the feature I liked about it: BIG METER!  Picked mine up for $10 at a 
"junk in the trunk" ham sale.  Also have a 288X  I bought at the same time 
for the same amount.

How about a HP410B probe assembly with a new 2-01C diode tube.  It
requires 5V for proper operation, Good test leads,  and probe tip, and
checked out. $65.00 plus shipping.  Without the tube, the cable assembly,
the probe body and probe tip $30.00 plus shipping.

That sounds like a deal I cant pass up, Ive been looking for a 410B 
anyway.

Where do I send the payment?

I believe that Im first in line as Im the one looking for a probe. As 
per the subject line.

I dont live on the PC and a reasonable time to reply is simply courtesy.

I will take it with the tube, thank you.

Hi Gang,

  Have been performing sensitivity tests (12 dB SINAD) on some receivers
using a IFR-1500 Service Monitor.  I see there's a device, the Sinadder 3
made by "Helper Instruments" which would make things a little easier for me.

   Anyone have one that's not being used anymore?  Whatcha got?  Maybe
another model or mfr?

Greetings All,

        Now that the cooler weather is here I am spending more time in
the shop. I am finally getting around to those " NEXT WEEK PROJECTS ", I
have a need for a Tunnel Diode for a Heathkit HM-10A Tunnel Dipper,
Heathkit Part # 56-17. I can't seem to find a standard cross reference
for it. Dose anyone know of a replacement  or a source for it. Any Help
will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Message-ID: <493C5D56.4080905@wpaperman.com>

Does anyone on the list have knowledge of a replacement display, either 
the original Electro-Luminescent (EL) or a n LCD adapted unit for the 
IFR (Aeroflex) COM 120 series displays? A search of the original 
manufacturers web site, Planar systems, shows the part number 
(EL560.400) as obsolete. Schematics of the "module" are not available as 
they are still considered "Proprietary"

Are there enough units out there with display failures, partial or 
total, to be worth designing an after market replacement LCD panel for 
these communications analyzers?

At the present time I have 3 COM 120's that have partial or total 
failure of the EL display.

Anyone else in the same "boat"?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Any suggestions on a capacitor tester for high value caps (up to 100,000 uf or so)? 
Everything I have (including a Sprague TO-6A) only goes up to 2,000 uf. I can use my TO-6A 
for leakage tests but what about actually measuring cap values? I went through the Mouser 
catalog but most of their offerings didn't specify range.

Ken,

You might look at the B&K Precision 890B Capacitance meter, which measures
1.0 pF to 50,000 uF, or at the 830B meter, which measures 1.0 pF to 200,000
uF.  I have the 890, which handles all of my requirements.  If I needed to
measure several capacitors that are larger in value than 50,000 uF, I would
simply place any two of them in series and record a matrix which- if I have
three or more similar capacitors- allows me to determine the capacitance of
each.  If I needed to do this often, I would have splurged for the 830B, but
it has yet to happen the first time.  Go here for info:

Hi, Ken

Page 3 of the TO-6A manual (paragraph 2.2) describes the procedure.
Basically you move the "power factor" (p.f.) pot in addition
to the main dial pot for the best null on the electric eye.
The power factor is then read off the scale 
next to the power factor pot.  This only works for 
capacitance ranges C4 and C5; the p.f. pot is out of the circuit
for smaller value capacitors.  The two settings interact,
so both must be adjusted for best null.

Start with the "power factor" pot set to zero, 
then find the initial magic eye null with the main dial.
Improve the null by increasing the p.f. pot, readjust the main dial,
and then repeat the two adjustments until there is a best null.

73,
Ed Knobloch

I thought I was done with the old Measurements RF generators until I 
found this one under a bench, and since the bolometer is good I reckon I 
ought to refurb it.  Looks similar to the old model 80 but with a second 
low frequency generator built-in that covers 20hz to 200khz, which makes 
it kinda neat.

Looking for a manual or schematic, thanks.

Ahh..the model 80...

It was back in the mid 60s, Burt, K6OQK had just added an FM receiver to his 
AM 2 meter repeater. One of the local teenagers had a license and a scanner 
but couldn't afford a transmitter. He had a job in a little 2-way shop after 
school and daily his buddies would come over. He could get the model 80 on 
the repeater FM  input by full duplex listening to the repeater output on 
his scanner while tuning and by yelling into the side of the model 80 made 
about 3 KHz of deviation. I seem to remember it was the right side. Such a 
good generator...

Neat story, Bob - Reminds me of PM (Percussive Modulation) - I've not 
tried that but I do apply Percussive Repair methods at times!  About 
that same timeframe, my old Model 80 was put to a similar task.  A buddy 
of mine just went nuts when people kerchunked his repeater, so when  I 
wanted to annoy him I'd just dial the attenuator up to the point where 
it would tickle the squelch, and mother nature would take care of the rest.

Here's what the 82 looks like:  
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v652/ranickel/Measurements%2082/

I love my synthesized stuff, but there's something to be said for analog 
attenuators.   All I know is it came from Collins Radio surplus so it's 
got to be good ;-)

For those collecting "Classic" test equipment:

DMS-3200:  Tested, working. All nixie displays good.

DP-100: DC Voltmeter plug in. Tested, working. Cal potentiometer is 
rough and should be           replaced. Hard to set.

DP-150: 1 MC counter plug in. Working within specifications. Tested

DP-170: Ohmmeter plug in. Working, accurate to specification.

DP-200: Capacity meter. NOT working properly.

All items are very clean. Were purchased new by a hospital research lab 
"some time ago"; then came directly to me several years ago.

Original manuals and product brochure for all items.

Does anyone have a schematic of this generator or know of one?
I have never seen a schematic and I have looked pretty hard for a long time.
Stupidly, I BBQ'd a segment of the attenuator and the resistors are so
charred that I can't determine the values.
Perhaps someone has a unit with a good attenuator but otherwise no good
or an attenuator sitting around that I could buy or borrow.
The rest of the unit works pretty good so I hate to toss it.

 Dave,

I've got some 20 db heads that work with signal gen's that need them for impedance matching.  N Connector on each end.  These are the ones that are like the units used with the Measurements type sig gen's.  Don't know if these would be compatible with your unit or not.

Hmmm..well I don't remember what this head looks like right now..I'll have
to drag it out and see.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can clear the bench from some of the other

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20081225214013.05a11140@mail.bellsouth.net>



A friend of mine has found a Morrow Technologies V9054 VXI spectrum analyzer.

I understand computers and spectrum analyzers.

Does a VXI frame require a controller CPU, or does it have one built in?

Can a VXI piece of test equipment be used stand alone without placing 
it into a VXI frame?

Is it possible to control the VXI test equipment directly from a PC?

I feel sure that I can properly power up the module. Possibly a PC104 
module could be programmed to interface the VXI module to a PC?

Thanks

Glenn,

A standard VXI chassis is controlled with a "Slot Zero" card, which contains
a hard drive, the CPU, and memory.  The Slot Zero card must be programmed to
handle the specific modules that are installed in that chassis.  My employer
uses these VXI chassis with relay modules and arbitrary signal generator
modules to remotely control aerospace ground equipment, using an RS-485
command bus, 

I am unfamiliar with the V9054 spectrum analyzer, but all of the VXI modules
I have seen do require the VXI frame to operate, since the frame contains
the power supply as well as the Slot Zero card.

Greetings All,


        I having a great time in the Shop/Shack this week(got seven whole
days to my self) to work on and finish up some 2008 projects. I am
recapping an NRI RF Signal Generator and needed to make a replacement
Dial/pointer. I made the replacement out of Plexi glass, scored a
indicator line and mounted to the original mount. How ever the original
had the band markings on the reverse side, the one I made I used Dry
Transfer letters on the top side. Dose anyone have a good way of sealing
or coating the Dry Transfer letters so they will hold up under use . Any
help will be greatly appreciated.

Jeff, I've had good luck with a few light coats of Krylon "Crystal 
Clear" spray polyurethane.  I think you can get various glosses, 
depending on what you like.

I usually don't wait a long time between coats.  They're not totally 
dry, in other words, but not wet.  I don't know if it makes a 
difference.  It just seemed like a good idea.

73,

My experience is similar Tom and Jeff. The only precaution is to not flood
the surface as I have seen some lettering float as a result. The Krylon
Crystal Clear is what I have used too. I know it comes in gloss and there is
also a Matte finish though it may be just labeled as "matte finish". I use
that when protecting the round drum dials as used on Collins A-line gear.

Hi Jeff,

I envy your seven days - pure gluttony! Bliss!!

When I was making printed wiring board [PWB] transparencies, I used an 
Archer [Radio Shack] product called Protective Spray, number 64-2317, to 
hold down dry transfers . It was an acrylic product. I doubt that the 
product is still available - who uses dry transfers for making PWBs these 
days? So, I suggest that you find any acrylic spray and try it out on a bit 
of throwaway Plexiglas that you have put any dry transfers on. I tried 
several products before settling on this one, because some caused the 
letters to shrivel.

73 de Brian, VK2GCE.

     Check out model train stores for sprays used to protect 
decals. Test to make sure the spray does not act as a 
solvent for the base or for the ink on the transfers. The 
Krylon recommended by someone else probably works as well 
but this is an alternative.

I've used Krylon clear acrylic (gloss) for some time on various metal 
and plastic project cases. I use a light spray coat for the first layer, 
letting it dry, before attempting any further coats. That makes sure the 
lettering does not float, if subsequent coats are a bit wet.

Jeff,

Was that a Model 88 you recapped?  Coincidentally, I just finished 
recapping one over the holiday as well.  I still need to address some 
problems and I find the manual to be long on basic radio troubleshooting 
and short on equipment specifications.  If you could, please email me 
off list to trade results and help me figure out what to expect from the 
unit.

tnx, 73
