5. HET Band Level Accuracy
On the HP 8642 key in SPCL 8 to enable the HET Band. Change the
measuring receiver display to linear. Set the HP 8642 and measuring
receiver to 0.1 MHz. Set the HP 8642 to the amplitude levels given
in the table below and verify that the readings are within the given
limits.

6. Level Accuracy.
On the HP 8642 key in SPCL 0 to disable the HET band. Set the HP
8642 and the measuring receiver to the values given in the table
below. At all 0 dBm amplitude settings, change measuring receiver
measurement mode to Tuned RF, and on the HP 8642 key in INCR
SET, 10 dBm. This will enable the step function to be used (see
Operating Fundamentals). Also, if measuring receiver is an HP
8902A, return to 0 dBm at the end of each band and store instrument
configuration as instructed in notes 2 through 7. Verify that the
power readings on the measuring receiver are within the specified
limits.
