Hi Scott, Let me put this as politically correct as possible.
Call Paul at RF Imaging (or RF Image) in Las Vegas only if you know what part(s) you need and see if he has some spare units/pieces to sell WITHOUT SENDING IN YOUR SERVICE MONITOR. Otherwise, check with some of the service monitor repair facilities found in the back of Mobile Radio Technologies or Mission Critical (ex Radio Resource) Magazines. The HP-8920a/b is now Agilent. cheers skipp > "Scott Zimmerman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My HP 8920 Service monitor has suffered an overpower condition to the Antenna IN connector for apparently it's last time (Accidental of course!!).

Following it has told me that the problem is in the input/output section (A23). A call to HP for a replacement module sat me on the floor for a few hours!! They want as much for that module as I paid for the whole monitor!!! > > I'm sure it's a relatively simple fix with (maybe) a common part, but without any board level docs. it's hard to say. I have disassembled the module to look for any burnt traces or parts blown off the board, but everything looks OK. I ran a few simple ohm meter checks, but with a multi-layer board, I can't tell where some of the traces are supposed to go. > > Has anyone run into this before or know of a decent person to deal with when it comes to repair. I really on this monitor on a daily basis, and it's completely usable through the other 2 ports, so I'm not really enthused about sending it off to the repair shop for a few months. > > Scott > > M.
