$7975 and $9312 and they don't even show an accuracy spec. What they do show is a 0.2 arc second sensitivity. I went to the Wyler site but there also...

George, I am glad you were able to fix it. As to what did it, all I can say is that I attempted to insert some comments inside of a quotation from the...

That Schmidt coupling looks like it would work well. But there sure is a bunch of parts there. And all those links will need to have the same hole spacing....

I tried to get in to edit that post, but could not. I guess it is in George's hands.

My apologies to all for this.

Yes, I was posting there and something went very wrong. I tried to flag it and also sent a message to the moderator right after it happened.

I may have considered that if I had known before. But, as I said, on and around my electronic benches, space is at a premium. So the compact size of the...

My first use of the 1/4-40 die and...

Well, most ANALOG scopes do have some response beyond their advertised bandwidth. But you must be aware that they usually do not specify anything in that...

My purchase? Ha,ha!

The wait time? Just a joke on my part. I can...

I could not agree more about the possibility of being deceived by digital scopes. It is commonly thought that the theory behind digital sampling says...

There is no reason why standard clamps can not be used with tapped holes instead of tee slots. I have done it and it works quite well. In fact, the tapped...

Well, I finally pulled the trigger. I ordered a Hantek DSO2D15 plus two 200 Mhz probes from Amazon. I think the included arbitrary function generator...
