Re: [PSES] HP 8546A EMI Receiver - Looking for calibration facility
We use our 8546A receiver every day and love it. It is still one of the best frequency domain receivers around. We use AcuCal (recently acquired by Trescal) who has mobile labs that travel all over the Americas. They back right up to our lab door, we hand carry our receiver to their 5th wheel trailer/lab, and in about ½ a day it is calibrated and back in service. No wait, no shipper, no packaging, no damage in shipping, and at a lower cost of what HP was charging us back in the day. For us, the mobile labs such as this makes the most sense for test equipment we rely on so heavily.

Hi Bob, You may want to check these folks: http://www.techmastertest.com/techmaster/techmaster-service-advantage/ I don’t have an 8546A and I am not affiliated with this lab but their website shows they do RF test equipment calibration and repair. I use them for antenna calibration because they’re local (California) and ISO 17025 accredited.
