Hi. We have a HP 59307A VHF switch box. Anyone out there that works for HP or that has one? Need to know what can be sent over these switches. What frequencies are they good for? Can any RF power be put through them and, if so, how much? Would appreciate any help. -- Ollie Eisman (N6LTJ) ollie@hydra.unm.edu (505)277-4845 3505 Lafayette Rd.

I've used the 59307A for switching milliwatts of power, but don't have any data handy on their actual rating. I'm sure they're not spec'd for high power, though (like 10 Watts or greater; they might handle a couple watts). Have you tried calling the HP Albuquerque Sales Office? My phone book lists them at (505) 823-6100. They might have a complete data sheet or manual on the 59307A. Regards, Charlie
