Re: [Amateur-repairs] Poll: Which test equipment do you use in your radio repairs?

 

Hello Boyd and all,
I has worked on electronics repairs sence 1978 and as You, I has
purchase a lot of test equipmenet and has build some other.
For now I have some Scopes (2 HP 54502A, 2 Kikusui COR5500U and a
Tektronix 475A), some service monitors(01 Marconi 2955A, 01 marconi
2955B, 01 HP 8920A and 01 HP 8924C), some RF Power meters, some RF and
audio generators, some Spetrum analyzers, some analog and digital
multimeters, and another test equipments. But before I get these
instruments, I already has solved many problems for several years.
As Jose Gaviila I also think about to get a HP-8753C (300kHz to 6GHz
VNA) or Anritisu VNA master 5KHz-6GHz MS2026B but it is too much!!!
I hope some day I can get one these!!!

Best Regards,

Silva.
