After getting a bit confused with the variety of RF Plug-In's for the HP 8620C Sweep Oscillator and the A & B versions, I decided to do a bit of research into the different 86200 series model numbers.
The 8620 sweeper operates from 10MHz to 18GHz depending on the RF Plug-In fitted. Power output is usually adjustable over a 10dB range with AM or FM if required. Options were usually: 001 Internal Leveling; 004 Rear RF Output; 010 70dB Attenuator; although option numbers vary a bit.
3 different families were available: single-band; broad-band (or wide-band); and multi-band. Over the years these RF Plug-In's were introduced, upgraded and superceded which has led to the confusion. This sometimes means that the frequency range is not what you would expect for a particular model number.
