The Tektronix TR501 is a 1.8 GHz tracking generator plug-in for the TM500 system.
The TR501 is intended for the 7L12 but also works with the 7L13 and 7L14 albeit not supporting dot markers.
The TR501 and TR502 are essentially the same instrument except for the output attenuators and logic interface added in the TR502.
