Guess this is a question for engineers who are over the hill like me: Do you guys remember any fundamental differences between the older spectrum analyzer HP3585A and its "newer" brother HP3585B?
I recall that the GPIB command sets were different but other than that it's just too freaking long ago that I used the A. Or maybe those very brain cells have fallen victim to a brewsky. The B version retails for a lot more on the market so if there are only more or less cosmetic changes we'd go for the A version. This is to replace a 3585 that had been busted in shipping. That one was truly totaled, the CRT and a lot of other stuff is shot.
