Re: [RSGBTechnical] Some suspiciously cheap RF test kit on eBay UK
Well, let's say I am willing to pay up to ?3000, and another volt-nut up to ?3200. He places the bid, and I don't bid against them. Had we both bid, the other volt-nut would have still won, but

Re: [RSGBTechnical] Some suspiciously cheap RF test kit on eBay UK
Unfortunately for this forum, I will have to say time-nuts. The second is a fundamental unit of measurement and the volt is not. Now, if you consider amp-nuts, they would be on equal footing. Regards,
