(Please) Help me pick a new Sig Gen

I'm open to suggestions along those lines. I've done it before, so it does work when you can determine who's there, but therein lies the difficulty. There are many members, which makes coordination and timing a challenge. Maybe a mailing list or something? Using the forum just drives prices up!

it has to be in a members only section, to make it harder for sellers to know people are collaborating.

Think of how much can be saved, no more overpriced ebay stuff.

One one these dinky things will get you by for cheap:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10MHz-DDS-Function-Signal-Generator-Sine-Square-Wave-Sweep-Frequency-Meter-/121633684437

Frequency range              0.01Hz ~ 10MHz  (FY2110S)
Rise and fall time of square wave 100ns

I hate the way they don't use leading zero suppression on the displays of these things.

I wouldn't go quite so far as to say there would be no more high prices. There are still crazy people on eBay who are willing to pay too much for stuff, even in the niche area of test equipment.

Maybe a sticky with a title like:


"Ebay test equipment I am bidding on"

[bitseeker]

"Stay away, please..."

Corrected

"Ebay test equipment I am bidding on - Stay away - Please"


I think this would work
