Carl;
 
Yes: both the HP 8620a/b/c or Hp 8350A/B can be used with the Hp 8410A/B/C  
system.
 
See HP Application note 221 or HP appl note 117-1 for a full  description.

Could  one of the 8620 or 8350 series sweepers be used with a 8410A?
I have most  of the accessories but havent bothered with it since I can 
still 
get  access to a late VNA.
It came from the MACOM cal lab storage shelf when  they closed a facility 
25 
years ago.

I particularly like the Smith  chart display.
