I have two of the 3586C's and tried the 'Beethoven Test' on both. Now, other than turning it off, how do you make it stop?

If you are not familiar with this HP-3586x test, you should acquaint yourself with it. Apparently this can be run on any of the HP-3586's - the A, B, or C versions. Enter the following from the front panel: "Recall", "decimal point", "CENTR FREQ", "8" and then wait. According to the manual this is the receiver test. The numbers that fly by are the Gain Tests of various stages: 1.0 - 1.11 RF Gain 2.0 - 2.13 I.F. Gain 3.1 - 3.2 Detector Counter 4.1 - 4.32 Flatness in 1 MHz steps 5.0 Audio Test Pay close attention to the "Audio Test" from the speaker and the front panel lights during the audio test. This test by itself is reason enough to own one of these versatile and wonderful instruments.
