Hi there,
I just got a scrapped HP537A Coaxial Freq Meter for my own use.
I wish that someone could explain how to use the meter and ir possible, provide me the performance check of the unit as well?
I know the instrument is kinda old but i heard the unit is good? In addition to this, i got it cheap and it would be sad if i dont use it,agreed?
Appreciate the help.

from the catalog:
"The instruments comprise a special transmission section with a high-Q resonant cavity which is tuned by a choke plunger.
A 1 dB or greater dip in output indicates resonance; virtually full power is transmitted off resonance."
Btw. the 537A is still orderable http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/fac ... eng&k=537a
This seems to be one of the longest living products, probably introduced in the early to mid 60's 8)
For more detalied information just download the user manual from the above link.
