Greeting experts. We have a 20 year old HP 8546A RF Receiver System which we love very much. We believe the Backup Battery has died because when we turn it on it cannot remember the date and time AND it says it is using "Default Correction Factors". We are guessing that it has lost its calibration data.
When we try to run the internal calibrations, we get a "Cal: RES BW AMPL FAIL" error and an SRQ 110 which points to a hardware error. But we think it maybe more than a coincident that the backup battery and hardware problem would occur at the same time. 1. Do you think replacing the battery and having the receiver calibrated will return it to life? 2. Does anyone have a Service Manual for this receiver? We are willing to buy it. 3. Does anyone have a working HP8546A (or compatible) system we could bed, borrow, buy, rent, or steel? 4. Any other insight, recommendations, of suggestions?; other than those of our R&S Sales Rep? Thanks to all. The Other Brian ________________________________ LECO Corporation Notice: This communication may contain confidential information intended for the named recipient(s) only.
