Default Marker precision on a HB8592B (HP859xb series)

Rigth, so if in doing the measurement of frecuency at 300 Mhz with a span of
500Khz I get say 299.870 my unit is OK, rigth ?

I don't see those big errors of 5 Mhz.

Any pointers to the user manualfor that unit ?

Rigth, I have seen that info, (0.01% of center freqency + 2% of
freqency
span + 5 x N MHz), but I quite don't understand it ...

If say I am measuring a 300 Mhz signal, and I have a span of say 500
Khz..

- What is the precision or error that I can expect ?

Any hands on experience with that spectrum analizer, and in special
regarding frecuency marker precision, will be welcomed.


N is the 1st LO harmonic used for the front-end conversion. It is
always 1 for any frequency in the first band of coverage, so the
tolerance at 300 MHz would be +/- 5.055 MHz.
