Hi Sid. That looks very similar to the HP 8924C CDMA Test Set that I have, but there's a few cosmetic differences. I'm curious, though... In looking at the specs for the E8285A (http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5968-8839E.pdf), I see where the specs indicate that it operates from 800-1000 MHz and 1700 to 2000 MHz.
Have you verified that it does indeed operate on usable frequencies outside of those bands? The 8924C operates from 30-1000 MHz, and will work from 1700-2000 with an add-on external unit. You didn't indicate your frequencies of interest, but assuming you have needs outside of the 800 MHz band, have you verified these things are actually going to be useful?

They are becoming available on the surplus market at bargin basemant prices, Anyone else have one that would like to exchange notes? Sid.
