[Test-Equipment] Info on Booton 160A Q meter?

[Mike Czuhajewski]

Try these:

http://www.jamminpower.com/main/260A.jsp

That's a site run by Dr. James Moorer (degrees in electrical engineering,
applied math and computer science). It has the operator manual for the 260A
as well as the test and alignment manual which covers both the 160A and
260A. While the 260A is significantly different from the 160A, some of the
info on that one is also useful. Warning--these downloads are not for the
faint of heart if you have a dial-up connection. The 260A manual is 39 megs
and the test/alignment manual is 128 megs. (I'm sending Ray a free CD with
the files burned onto it.)

Here's another good site--

http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/qmeter/qmeter.html

The article is "Boonton 260-A Q Meter Repair Hints and Comments" and it has
a lot of good info. Even if you have the 160A, you should still read this.

Finally, one I stumbled across two minutes ago while checking, is on the
BAMA site (BoatAnchor Manual Archive) at  http://bama.sbc.edu/

Click on the Boonton section and you'll find the operating manual for the
160A/170A. This one is only about a quarter meg, but it does require the
DJVU reader, which can be downloaded from the BAMA site. Scroll down the
opening a page until you see "You need a free viewer" and click on that.
Then scroll down to the DJVU section. (Many feel that DJVU is better than
other compression formats, although support seems to have stopped.)
