Anyone used this pair of critters?

Can you confirm or deny that it works on GSM800 (eight hundred) band?

Thanks.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.

IIRC the 83220E was the extension for the 1800 and 1900 MHz bands.

I have this combination instrument.

From page 3-15 of the January 1998 User's Guide, footnote 1:

GSM frequency bands are 880 to 915MHz and 925 to 960MHz.

Elsewhere the manual refers to operation with E-GSM, DCS1800 and
PCS1900 but NOT GSM850.

However, page 4-31 mentions that "you may enter a non GSM standard
frequency ... between 10Hz and 1000MHz".

If you like I could power it up and see what happens with my V3 phone
which can be set to work on the USA 850/1900 bands.

I downloaded the (massive) user manual from the Agilent web site. My
printed copy fills a box file. The instrument isn't small either.

I would be grateful if you would do that, although it sounds like it'll
work. This is feeding into a buy/don't buy decision; we don't want to
see a bunch of money spent for an instrument that only almost does what
is needed.

That depends upon locale. It varies greatly by nation.

Nice example of a specific locale issue versus band.
