I hate to distract anyone from all these weighty topics
but...
There is a 8591E with the tracking generator, GPIB, and narrow bandwidth options on my local CL
*. I am in conversation with the seller now. If I do buy it, I will have an opportunity to test it out as thoroughly as I wish, at least once I figure out how to do so safely.
So... I have read mixed reviews about this SA. When I was evaluating my options, it was one of the models I looked at. Anyone here have one? Used one? What do you like about it? Hate?
And...
I won't get it for a jammy git price but what would be a really good deal? The prices on ebay seem to be crazy, though the "completed deal" prices are more reasonable.
Off to look through the manual in more detail and figure out if it can do anything my current SA cannot, other than look like a really sweet piece of HP TE, I mean.
*Yes I have an SA (the entry level Siglent w/ TG) so I don't really need it but then I don't really need approximately eighty percent of the TE on my shelves, so why should that stop me?
