Re: First post - Hello and a question
I'd rather think that advising a newbie to buy an uncalibrated, unknown 7603 is sending him/her on a wild goose chase. A newbie will not have enough experience to easily ascertain whether something is

Re: First post - Hello and a question
Well, if all you care about is *basically working*, then I agree. But then you don't need a 7603 either. A random 7603 with random plugins will *basically* work, but most of the time it doesn't really

Re: AM501 Stuff (op-amp references)
Anything that has got banana jacks on it *may* perform poorly for anything above a few kilohertz due to parasitics, unless you put the feedback path next to the chip. It does have a place to solder

Re: CRT differences
A lot of Tek CRTs are different only in how the graticule is marked. For example, if it weren't for the fact that the graticules are different, I could swap the pristine, very low hours CRT from my

Re: First post - Hello and a question
I'd agree with this. I used to have a 465M and it was a pretty good scope. You can get them dirt cheap on Ebay. For the original poster, if you're comfortable designing, building, and debugging audio

Re: Tek 492 SA experts, can you answer these questions?
I tried that today and it works quite well once you know what to do. Connect vertical output to line level input of a regular stereo receiver or amplifier, plug in the headphones. Digital storage OFF.

Maybe if it was a "instead" question it would be an error, but luckily it is only "what first", standard PIs are cheap. I would expect the MF will come with some useful plugins (or it may not if it is

Re: 11K Series question, is there anything other than 11A plug ins?
Hi Walter The 11K vertical plug ins are not simple. Most will give you 1% or much better accuracy. The plug in data and cal info is read by the mainframe on power up so you need intelligent plug in's

Re: First post - Hello and a question
I happen to agree with you, with the proviso that a 7A22 is darned useful for audio. My reading was the guy was looking for a first scope for audio. I think it would be an error to get a 7A22 instead
