OK enough of the foodie stuff, back to TEA.
I went to my first hamfest/radio rally in over two years this morning (missed a bunch pre-covid due to being overseas for work). Only a small one and didn't stay long. I took the new dog and she was not totally happy, still a bit nervous.
I did however score big time. A HP 8640B. I've been after a low phase noise generator (at the right price) either a 8640B or TF2017 for many years. This one has option 001 the wide range udio oscillator. I'm not bothered abot the internal doubler, 'Ive plenty of UHF signal generators and an external doubler if I need it.
The photo is as bought, I' slowly bringing it up to temperature. Supposed to be workig and the RAF calibration stickers are in place so it's not been messed with.
The big question (other than will it work) how much? £40, yes forty, I didn't miss a digit. I had the cash out before he changed his mind.
Also picked up a Rapco 1804 P2 GPSDO for £20 no I don't
need another GPSDO but this is TEA
