SureCal vs MetCal

I am the biggest fan of the HP 3335A.  It is a great standard (un-matched for reliability).

There are two companies that I know of who are able to rebuild the 3335A. 
Oplink in GA and Nation Test Equipment in southern CA.  Each of these companies are very good a repairing and rebuilding older equipment.

I recomend them to my customers when they have a broken 3335A.

No recall would ever be necessary because the Air Force has you chart the attenuator prior to each use. It's not that big of a deal because the tests that use it (Scale Fidelity, Input Attenuator, Reference Level, and RBW), are all done at the same frequency, usually 40 MHz.

Duckbutta,
I think that is they way to do.  Comparing one measurement to another measurement using the attenuator as a transfer standard.  It is a pain in the butt, but there is little time for the attenuator to change is values.  And if you have a failure you will only have a couple of units that may be effected. 

I would hate to be in the lab that had to recall mounts worth of spectrum analyzer calibrations.

Straight scoop from SureCal.

The true statement would be:  They (AF Labs) have chosen to write their own procedures.   SureCAL isn't going away and we still consider them a customer.

Does that answer your question?

Metcal is better.More support;you can get a procedure written to the standards you have,not someone else's;Uncertainties can be reported;TUR's will be reported; You don't need a programmer license to change,maintain, or write procedures.
  Just seems better for us.We are strictly Metcal,TME, or HP BASIC
