There are a couple of very nice VNA's that can be picked up in
assembled or kit form for $500. The DG8SAQ and N2PK units both come
to mind.

Just noticed there is a flood of lower end priced ($5k $5k) VNAs
on FleeBay just in case anyone is looking for one. No need to thank
me, just buy me one as well :)

A man with two clocks is never quite sure.

Interesting... be aware that a lot of those 8510s aren't the whole
analyzer, just the display or RF
We have a bunch of sweepers at work, and many of the them have
died and can't be fixed. The only way they can be repaired is
to cannibalize one to fix another, assuming they don't have
the same bad module. We have given away an 8510 to a school
and have others gathering dust.

VNAs are very expensive toys. I have an HP 8753 and was just outbid on a 6
GHz source assembly. :((
Mine has a very complex multi-chip RF Hybrid that has a partial failure,
so it only goes to 3 GHz. That's a serious problem with modern high-end
microwave gear, if anything dies, you're prettry
