My mistake, my brain autocorrected 8924 to 8922! Yes, the 8924 is a general-purpose (though "service grade" ;)) instrument that's very flexible. The 8922 is not. (I still have an 8922 from my cellular development days...free for pickup if you're interested!) -Dave On 2/10/23 17:17, Jeff S wrote:
According to online resources, it has all the capabilities of an HP 8920B RF Service Monitor PLUS the CDMA features.
So just don't use the CDMA features and it's still a regular service monitor which can take up to 100W RF input if so equipped.

Keep in mind this is a cellular comm analyzer, not a piece of general-purpose RF lab equipment. They're all the rage in the ham crowd, which I just don't get...but, predictably, they're best at what they were designed for: cellular comm system design.
