I am trying to use an 8566A with 11970 series mixer. Manual says SHIFT,U sets up to use mixer - it works for the 18 - 26.5 mixer, but I cannot find out how to use higher band mixers - I would like to use the 40 - 60GHz mixer. Does anyone know how to do this. Literature on 8566A indicates that mixers to 100GHz can be used but manual does not seem to mention how.
Thanks! :?

The 8566B manual states that you can set the start and stop frequency (FA + FB) after the external mixer preset, which will automatically change the harmonic used for tuning. If you wish to pick a particular LO harmonic, you can do so with HNLOCK.
