This one is apparently not in GIDEP, not available at R&S website, and I am coming up with pretty much nothing.  Anyone have a cal procedure (maybe the service manual they could perhaps PDF the calibration section) that you might be able to send.  Or alternately, know somewhere I should be able to find one?

Send an email to [email protected] and ask them for it. We do it all the time for stuff not on the website. Very friendly.

I have no clue but just out of curiousity what is a Rohde & Schwarz UPSF2?

It is a Video Noise Meter.   Also, to DMINESINGER:  Good idea.  I just sent them an email with the request.  I think its the researcher in me that digs deep trying to find anything I can on the web.  So many of the OEM's have such poor support on these old items, that I neglect to contact some of the better ones where it might actually save me a bunch of time/headache.  Thanks for that input.

I contacted R&S and they already answered back (very quickly) that this was an old model and there was not a PDF made of it.  They invited me to contact their parts dept to see if there is a paper copy of the service manual still in stock.

Helmut-Singer in Germany has the USPF2 model for sale, which means they usually have a copy of the manual. They have the data sheet on their site. Might be worth the time to ask if they'll give or sell you a copy of the manual. We have the book for the USPF, don't think that will help but I'll scan it if you want it.
