Antenna Service Monitor

Post by xxx2fan »

I just got a TEKA24A antenna for my service monitor. I have both a R2200D/HS and a R2001A. I have a manual for the
R2200D and under Accessories Supplied it has
ANTENNA - The fused BNC connected antenna receives off-the-air signals PN #TEKA-24A.

Does any one know if this is fused like the bnc connector is. It looks like you can screw out the back of the connection where the wire goes into the connector. Just got this yesterday and not quite ready to tear it apart.

Got my R2200 working great now working on the R2001A got it going except for the scope is bright intensity can't be turned down. Anyone that has ideas on this would be helpful also. I got the focus to work changed a IC.


Thanks for any one with info

That statement should read "ANTENNA - The fused BNC connected antenna port receives off-the-air signals PN #TEKA-24A." The antenna itself is not fused. Also, if you are using the antenna port and you are testing a high power portable (5W) at the analyzer, leave the antenna off or use the RF I/O port with the antenna so you don't blow the fuse.

On your R2001A intensity problem, try adjusting the intensity bias and balance pots on the A2 (scope Amplifier) module. These are the two pots toward the bottom of the board.

First, adjust your intensity control FULLY CCW, then adjust the intensity bias pot until your display just disappears. Second, set the display to one of the scope modes (AC Scope, DC Scope or Mod Scope) increase the intensity control to a "just veiwable level and adjust the scope balance pot for a uniform intensity across the trace.

Thanks Dave fro the reply
And for the info on the R2001A scope problem I will check those and let you know. Be a couple days till I can get to it.
Good info on the antenna connector. I'm sure it will inform others here too.
Thanks again for taking your time to help me.

Does anybody know the actual manufacturer and part number for that fused BNC connector?
This is my opinion, not Aeroflex's.

I WILL NOT give you proprietary information. I make too much money to jeopardize my job.

I AM NOT the Service department: You want official info, manuals, service info, parts, calibration, etc., contact Aeroflex directly, please.

I could have told you about 5 years ago, but not anymore.
