Well, the *cheap* alternative is a simple CATV splitter, available off the rack at Home Depot for $5-$10. If you have enough 10 MHz drive, and if your instruments will lock up reliably with the resulting attenuated output, then you're all set.
Before I bought a 5087A, I was able to lock almost all of my HP and Tek gear on a 4-port splitter fed by a Thunderbolt at +9 dBm. The only exception was my 5345A counter, but a $2 MAV-11 amplifier took care of that. -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on > Behalf Of Robert Atkinson > Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 12:35 PM > To: Richard W.
