I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

Chapter 1 How to Begin Installing the HP E1742A/43A/44A/46A/48A Analysis Software
Install the HP TIA Software
1 Insert the HP E1742A/43A/44A/46A/48A disk 1 into the 3.5-inch floppy drive. Start Windows. Open Windows Explorer and double-click on Setup File to install the software. The software cannot be installed while another Visual Basic program is open in Windows. If you see an error message to this effect, close all other Visual Basic programs to proceed with the installation. Shortly after double-clicking, you will see the installation window shown below. If you see a different window, you may have inserted disk 3 by mistake. (Disk 3 also has a file with the name setup.exe.) Click Cancel and return to step 1. This window allows you to modify the directory for the software installation, or to cancel the installation completely. To cancel the installation, click Exit Setup or press ALT E.
