Re: [Amateur-repairs] Re: Radio test set recomendation

 

Thank you all for your contributions, now I have to study them and make a
decision. But I think that Ramsey Com 3010 is a verty good option. I let's
you know what I decide.

Thanks you all again.

Antonio.

Re: [Amateur-repairs] Re: Radio test set recomendation

 

I have a HP 8924c. Fine piece of equipment.  Just make sure it has the C on the end and not another letter.  Outside of a wide range multimeter  and wide range oscilloscope I don't think there is anything else needed.  Maybe a good dummy load and wattmeter for higher power. Only problem is that if used much below 20 MHz the calibration of the signal generator and power sensors goes way off. 

There is a less expensive version that is similar that they sometimes have.  Think it is an e8285 that is around $ 1000 also.  If I remember right, it is calibrated below the 20 mhz  limit of the 8924c.  Just make sure it has all the options you want .  I think this one is only good for about 3 watts input.

I did not buy one from Amtronix, but another place.  After a year or so it was taking some time to come on when pluged in.  Indicating a power supply getting ready to go out.  I ordered one from Amtronix,  It was totally dead.  A call to them and another was on the way in no time.   It has been working for about 2 years now with no problems.

+1 on amtronix.
I hear nothing but good things about them.

Consider the hp 8924c when they have them in stock.  Granted it was a
cellular test set, it has all the analog stuff built in.
Spectrum analyzer, tracking generator, sinad meter, etc.  If the unit is a
3 watt unit they can upgrade it to a 60 tor 100 watt input.

Thanks for your comments.

My intention is to have a more complete laboratory and to perform tasks
safely and easily. I would like to have an instrument like the MARCONI
2955A or failing the necessary tools to perform all tests and measures that
it allows.

The downside is the price of these instruments, therefore, I like to know
if you think interesting to invest in this type of instrument or not. I
have seen someone of second hand that are fairly priced.

My intention is to increase the time spent on repairs ham transceivers.

Thanks...
Antonio

RE: [Amateur-repairs] Re: Radio test set recomendation

 

FYI

I recommend Rick at http://www.amtronix.com/

Lots of great info on his site too, Here is what I found out I have 3 ham repeaters on the air 2 220 and 440 Mostly Modified Motorola equipment, So I picked up an Old Motorola service monitor did not know how to use it properly it was Not calibrated and I was adjusting things

So I sold it , I contacted Rick at Amtronix and Bought a Used Motorola R-2600 , It was Calibrated and I learned how to use it . I have had several Radio friends who wanted to borrow it But I said No but I will help you use it .

Good Luck

Don KA9QJG

PS A Person is only as good as His tools he has and knows how to use them And test equipment like this is great having it do everything But it is like a Ham Radio that does HF /VHF/UHF And something Quits working You are out of luck ….

I guess that the main thing is how much money do you have to put into the test set ?
What frequency ranges do you plan no testing ?
HP makes some good equipment that is surplus you can get off ebay for around $ 1000. You many have to go to about $ 1500 for some.
What country are you in ?
