content: Selling this E4406A VSA, Unfortunately it is not the 14 bit backend. But nonetheless it has some decent options:STD = standardBAC = cdmaOneBAF = W-CDMAB78 = cdma2000See screenshots for boot screen info.I purchased it from BRL Test equipment (big ebay test equipment seller) back in Feb. of this year. It comes with a calibration certificate from BRL Test (Good until Feb. 2018).I needed it for a hobby project that I thought was going to turn into a profitable business. Justified the purchase at the time. Business went bust and I can no longer justify keeping it ... and I want my bench space back!Now selling for$415.00 (PayPal) +shippingwithin the contiguous US. This thing is heavy! It seems shipping will be between $85 - $145. So total cost with shipping for the VSA will be between$500.00 - $560.00The backlight seems a bit dim (see pics), but never bothered me.If you're interested, please PM me with your area code and we can get a firm shipping cost....(edited - lowered price and adding shipping)

content: Not to spoil your sale but due to the number of E4406A on ebay in the US, I think you will find that your price is not competitive(EDIT: even though it seems this one has some kind of option B7C I/Q input)Fingers crossed for you of course.

content: Thanks. I based my price off of what I purchased it for earlier in the year (lowered it by a good 25%). You're correct, they have dropped a bit.I'll take any reasonable offer really. Like I mentioned, I need my bench real estate back!Shipping is the killer on this one, so I tried to work that in the selling price as well (anywhere in the US from $75.00 - $125.00)....

content: I've been casually eyeing one of these for a while, they look like they could be an interesting piece of kit but alas, I'm in the UK so shipping and import will kill it for me, I am however very curious about the 'Prototype Instrument' display, any story behind that or is it just how you got it?

content: Quote from: CJay on December 19, 2017, 12:25:49 pmI spent some time trying to dig into the meaning of the 'Prototype Instrument' but was unable to find any details. This is the first instrument I've owned/used of this type. So it's possible a person that is familiar with its operation could relatively easily pick out the 'prototype-ness'...
