I won the auction for the HP 8601A for $125.00. I have a question about the cables needed. I have the BNC to BNC cables to hook up my frequency counter and scope. I also have a cable with BNC to alligator clips that I use for my RF generator but it doesn't have the 50 ohm resistor. Should it have a 50 ohm resistor across it for all RF outputs, my RF generator as well as the sweep generator when used as an RF generator?
I've been reading the manual and watching videos on You Tube and I think I'm getting an idea how to use it. This really is on of the fun parts of this hobby!
