Marconi 2309/2310 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

The Marconi 2309 was an Intermodulation Analyser and the 2310 was a Tetra Modulation Analyser.

They were both very advanced for their time. A high performance synthesised LO mixed down to an IF (of 10.7MHz I think), followed by later signal processing in DSP.

The functionality was determined by software (IIRC they were based on 80386 or maybe 80486 processors. (They date from 1994-5 maybe?)
There is an operating manual out on the web which is of some help but it has little about architecture or hardware details.

I would like to know more. They came from around my locality, Longacres St Albans and Gunnels Wood Road Stevenage.

Is there anyone here knows anything about them please?
