| Cheap hardware to run Keysight VSA 89600 software |

Hi all I am a radio amateur interested in digital TV and test equipment. I would like to use the current free version of the Keysight VSA 89600 software to do measurements. The signals are DVB-T or DVD-S from 1 to 7 MHz bandwidth. I was wondering if anyone knows the cheapest hardware I can use to do this? From the list of supported hardware, the Agilent N9020A MXA or the Agilent E4402B ESA-E, both ~AU$3k seem possibilities. Would these work? Is there a cheaper way to do it? I have dabbled with older versions of 89600 and old gear over the years. Regards Drew VK4ZXI |

The E4406A is what I use. |

I also used the e4406A with VSA several years ago. I think I used it with VSA version 10 (I'd have to dig out my old XP laptop with VSA on it to check). Back then a e4406A could be had on eBay for about $1000 US. Looks like they are cheaper now. I also have original VXI VSA hardware, but the e4406A was cheaper. The VXI uses a Firewire interface. What is this "current free version" of 89600 that you speak of? Do you mean a trial version? Those only last 30 days. ... update. just had a Keysight person in at work who was showing VSA. He wasn't aware of a free version other than trial and demo. Trial times out, and demo doesn't connect to equipment. |

I have an e4406A but it only works on old versions of VSA. I would like gear that will work with the current version. I am using the "free" trial version for the moment. I can get the full version if I can get some compatible equipment for a reasonable price. Regards Drew VK4ZXI |
