Like they say, YMMV. I have a 4170 analyzer and it is completely

I tried to protect it with a BCB reject filter, and it had problems
calibrating out the filter. I really tried to make it work.
It uses a serial connection that is iffy if used with a dongle converter
on a computer without a native serial port.
