Re: 2465 blower
Both versions (the one spotted by Siggi and the one currently listed) seem to be 1AD3001-0S for 16-22 V compared to 1AD3001-0A, version for 10-15 V; otherwise hard to spot a difference. TT

Re: RF noise on ground
I guess I expected the different stations to be more distinct, but it is hard to nail down the exact frequency when looking closely. Is it the mix that's causing the consistent beat pattern? Not

Re: Fast probe prices?
Hi Jonathan, What is the sweep speed in the photo with the ringing? Knowing the ringing period is an important clue as to the cause. --Tom -- Prof. Thomas H. Lee Allen Ctr., Rm. 205 350 Jane Stanford

Re: RF noise on ground
Hi Dave, You gave the answer yourself: Sutro Tower, and "100MHz". That's FM broadcast. No point in turning off WiFi, etc. in search of something else. You already found it! --Cheers, Tom -- Prof.

Re: RF noise on ground
Yes, it's very likely that the noise is from the Sutro tower. It has FM transmitters on it. I used to have an office a similar distance (about 2500ft according to Google Maps) from the Palace of

Re: Fast probe prices?
How is the probe tip grounded? Excess inductance can increase the amount of ringing, so use as short as possible ground. Mike wrote:
