Re: eBay buyer protections are poor
USPS has made it easy to spend more money and harder to spend less. Their own web site (not through PayPal) has only Express and Priority Mail (expensive) options. The former Parcel Post product was

Re: Recommendations for a synthesized 20GHz+ RF gen
Hey Peter, I have an 8350B with an 83525A in it (needs TLC), so getting a 83592B looks interesting. I'm not sure what sort of frequency accuracy or stability I need for the 8566B band gain

Z3801A GPSDO discipline algorithm
Does anyone have knowledge of or better yet access to the algorithm or flow diagram of the GPSDO control process for the Z38xx family .. No real reason..just normal engineer curiosity ....but I would

Hey Vladan, the 8341 looks quite interesting, but boy it looks like a beast. Has the look of a mountain fortress :). I'll be sure to keep an eye out for one of those. Siggi

Re: Recommendations for a synthesized 20GHz+ RF gen
Hey Ancel, that's a very interesting device. See <http://www.rf-consultant.com/>. Looks like a combo RF synthesizer from 35MHz to 4.4GHz and power meter. Doesn't quite go where I'd need it to, but

Re: Recommendations for a synthesized 20GHz+ RF gen
Hey Bob, thanks for the tips - I'll read up on those for sure. It's sad to see otherwise perfectly good instruments going off due to the calibration software. The Tek TDS scopes have similar problems,

Re: eBay buyer protections are poor
Daniel I think you have missed the point of my comment. Why do some items cost 3 times as much to ship as the other same item?? And you are wrong - ten years ago USPS were quite reasonable. It seems

Re: [TekScopes] Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
Because 60Hz isn't the primary reason for the mumetal shield. The primary reason is the Earth's magnetic field deflecting the beam in annoying ways. -Chuck Harris 'cheater00 .' cheater00@...

It¡¯s used to keep magnetic fields out of the path the electrons travel in the CRT. Copper foil will shield electric fields, and to some extent will shield AC or changing fields. Mu metal channels or

I disagree. I have bought Agilent ESG-DP, 8341B, 8753ES, 4395A, E4440A, Tek CSA8000, R+S misc, and various heavier advantest equipment in the past year or so. The key is to use the 3" semi-hard foam
