to 10 sec/div in 1, 2, 5 sequence with ± 10% typical accuracy

Manual Sweep spectrum analyzer may be swept manually in either direction with front panel control
SIGNAL INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
Input Impedance 50 Ω  nominal; precision Type-N female connector
Input SWR typically < 2.0, 0 dB input attenuation < 1.3, 10 dB input attenuation
OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
Vertical Output, AUX A BNC output (50 Ω) detected video from 0 to 0.8 V for 8 division deflection on CRT display
Penlift/Blanking, AUX B BNC output provides 0 V pen down/unblanking signal at low impedance; 15 V penlift/blanking at 10 kΩ  impedance
21.4 MHz IF Output, AUX C BNC output (50 Ω) provides a signal which is proportional to the RF input. Level is about -10 dBm (into 50 Ω) with a signal displayed at the Reference Level. Output is controlled by settings of Resolution BW, Input Atten, and Reference Level
Horizontal Output, AUX D BNC output (5 kΩ) provides horizontal sweep from -5 V to +5 V for full 10 division CRT horizontal deflection
