21MX proms (per request

[Sean Caron]

And I do love and appreciate the old, built-to-last-a-lifetime test
equipment ... my bench is all Racal, Tek, HP, Fluke, etc and the median age
is probably at least 25 years but, I mean, $400 is almost halfway to a nice
used spectrum analyzer and I know which I'd rather have :O Choices,
choices...

Best,

Sean
