Hi,hhpnmfyxhv

I have this spectrum since 1992 but the batterie was installed in 1990. This is 18 years and I don't think the internal batterie had been change. It is mark on the back of the instrument that the batterie will last 8 years at room temperature. In the case of the batterie had failed, could that cause me the FREQ UNCAL problem because it can't hold anymore the calibration coefficients?

2 ai8957382 I did check the batterie and the voltage is normal.



The symptoms are: When I power up the spectrum, the Center Frequency is off (like not lock), then when I hit the Center Freq button, I can see that the center frequency is moving toward where it suppose to be and then lock (like center at 900 MHz...this is a 1.8 GHz spectrum).



Then if I place the Center Freq at 1 GHz, it might unlock or will unlock if I reduce the SPAN (need to power up again).

This is kind of bizarre that when I hit Center Freq, I am able to make it lock!
