* Options 082 and 083 are mutually exclusive. Option 082 is a lower cost, lower function version of option 083.
There is no upgrade available from option 082 to option 083.
** Options 028 and 029 are mutually exclusive. Option 028 makes non-match corrected noise figure measurements with
the standard receivers. Option 029 adds a dedicated noise receiver which is more accurate and the ability to correct
for source match. There is no upgrade set up from option 028 to option 029. In this case, Keysight will discount the
price of option 028 from the option 029 upgrade kit.
