Desk With Test Equipment.

Finally, I did a bit of tidying in the upstairs shack.
The shack has two desks, one should be dedicated to test equipment, the other should be used for some radio and computer equipment.

I almost cleared the upstairs desk for the test equipment. At least, the desk can now be used for more extensive testing than with the rudimentary set of test equipment at the ground floor radio (shack) desk.
Test equipment available for use at the desk:
- HP DC voltmeter
- HP AC voltmeter
- HP432 bolometer w/10GHz probe
- spectrum analyzer 10 - 1700 MHz w/tracking
- Marconi transceiver tester
- Tektronic 2 channel oscilloscope, 60MHz
- Velleman frequency counter
- modulation meter
- handheld multimeter, V/A/Ohm
- old Trio AF signal generator
- Fluke V/A/ohm, not functional, will need check and repair, if applicable
- Of course, (Velleman) soldering iron w/ power supply and multimeter
- a diode power meter built by a friend. can do 10GHz/max 100mW

There is more to come, e.g. a bit of test equipment/accessories for microwave and other measurements, such as:

- low frequency function generator and mini (cheap Chinese LF) oscilloscope kit

- modified satellite or MMDS down converters for converting microwave signals down to the range of the spectrum analyzer or frequency counter(s)

- VNAs (mini or Nano) for circuit/antenna testing (gain/frequency characteristics, SWR etc)

- directional couplers for 1.3, 2.4 and 10GHz

- Accessory mini frequency counters

- reference frequency generator ( TCXO, OCXO, Rubidium or GPS controlled)

- crystal tester(s)

- and more, to be described later
