External-Mixing Functions

	ext mixer	Allows access to the following softkey functions that control the
		measurement range when an external mixer extends the
		spectrum analyzer frequency range. The ext mixer softkey can be
		found under the State key.
		fulband KAQUVE
		fulband WFDGYJ
		CONV LOSS
		SIGNAL IDENT
	fulband KAQUVE
	and	Specify the frequency range for measurements made with
	fulband WFDGYJ
		external mixers. Twelve frequency bands are available. Table 2-2
		lists the start and stop frequencies of each band and also shows
		which local-oscillator harmonic (N) is used for the mixing process.
		Once a band is selected, the frequency range is locked and the
		spectrum analyzer tunes with the local-oscillator harmonic for
		that band only.
