Hi Nick. Don't know why I wasn't subbed before but I am now after seeing Graham's video of his visit to your lab. It would drive me a bit batty if I had to change the the settings of the meter every time I moved frequency. I use the older brother of this meter the HP-436A with the 8481H sensor. Thanks for the look see. Stay well. ATB Doug.
Hi Doug, nice to have you on-board! I am aware of the old meters that hp did, used to use them at work, actually it's not really necessary to keep changing the frequency on the meter unless you want the ultimate in accuracy, as the response of the sensor only changes by about 0.06 db from 100kHz to 1ghz ! Best wishes Nick
The back up battery sounds OK. It wouldn't stop it turning on. Do you get a standby light on the power switch? Suggest check power supply voltages and the keyboard buttons are making contact and the connections to the main board.
@@ptronixthanks for your reply. the supply voltages are ok 12 v, -12 v and 5 v , battery measure 2,9 v , the stand-by indicator is ok. This problem appeared for a month. I did not work with my meter. Yesterday when I turned on my meter and I pressed the start button, nothing happened.
@@radiotvrepair1059 sorry don't have the answer, to your problem. Suggest download the service manual and work though it looking at the turn on process
Gretas Job Mr. Ptronix . Please Keep Future More Video . Do you Are The Best.

That is a very nice bit of test gear Nick. I look forward to seeing it in action with a transmitter. Cheers Graham
Nice meter at a nice price Graham, radio tests coming soon! Cheers

Your cable loss at 2GHz is higher. The generator is very good,
Thanks for this vedio. I have agilent agilent e4416a power meter when I press the button nothing happens the battery voltage is 2.9v
