[Test-Equipment] RF spectrum analysis

[Carl]

Find a working HP-141T system, vintage but a decent SA for ham use. I used 
one on the workbench about 12 years and now its used for TX monitoring.
They all need a bit of  TLC as caps dry out and take SS parts with them. 
Only the CRT is in the unobtainium category so be sure it is nice and 
bright. Its better than paying $3-4K for a newer HP prone to the same issues 
and has proprietary parts. The 141T is all discrete components, ie: 
transistors, diodes, cap, etc.

The only thing you will find somewhat reasonable for a VNA is one of the 
kits that work with a PC. Not cheap but less pizzas needed.
