@rx8pilot Congrats! Glad to see Keysight took care of you. :)

Good luck to everyone else in this draw.

I am thinking that I will just pull two names out of a hat and the first one gets the Tek and the 2nd one gets the Rigol.

May I ask - in the unlikely event you pull my name out of the hat first, could I go for the Rigol, please.

While I would not be against having a nice 4 channel Tek, I really wouldn't use it's full features all that often.  Somebody else would.  Also, shipping to Australia is a little scary.

California to Sydney  UPS 19x13x11 inches , 8 pounds $360 american dollars  :wtf:
That's not a little scary, that a lot scary.
   If three 100  Ohm resistors are connected in parallel, and in series with a 200 Ohm resistor, how many resistors do you have?

8 lbs?  The specs I found show the Tek weighs just over 14kg (a little more than 31 lbs) with dimensions of 7.6 x 17.5 x 17.1 inches.  Add some packaging to that and see what it comes to.

The Rigol is more like 12 x 6 x 51/4 inches and just 5.5 lbs. - plus packaging.  Not AS scary.

Let me know if I missed you.

Please remember that any customs/duties/tax related issues are entirely on the winners. USA winners get free lower 48 ground shipping. Out of country winners will have to come up with something for the shipping and you will have to decide if it is worth it for you. Some countries are reasonable, and others are not so much. The Rigol can go postal service which is the lowest cost option. The much bigger Tek will need to go FedEx.

Hi Carlos, I'm one of the (I'm sure) many eevblogger's who sent in my three votes for you more times that I remember. I'd love to be entered into your scope giveaway. Thanks.

I'm already flush with scopes so my name can go out of the hat.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

Great to see the results of the community really getting behind Carlos, and you now giving back - being an active member of the group is what got you my votes!

No need to enter me (I'm sorted for scopes) - but keep up the good work :). And looking forward to that unboxing video!

Yeah great community.

I'm assuming there's big donations to EEVblog coming from various participants/winners....  ;D

Although I neglected to put it in the original post - it only makes sense to include those that signed up during the contest. I don't want to disappoint anyone.
I believe the list earlier posted is accurate.

May I ask - in the unlikely event you pull my name out of the hat first, could I go for the Rigol, please.

While I would not be against having a nice 4 channel Tek, I really wouldn't use it's full features all that often.  Somebody else would.  Also, shipping to Australia is a little scary.

Not a bad idea - let the first pick choose.


USPS to Australia for the Rigol is about $100 USD and $214 USD for the Tek.

 Voted early and often. It was a good effort. Really glad to see it all came together in the end. Keysight really stepped up and that puts them right at the top of my list.

 I will second Brumby - while the Tek would be cool, I can't really justify something with those features while I'm sure someone else here could. So if I should be lucky enough and be offered a choice, I would pick the Rigol.

A 500Mhz scope would be nice but too much hassle so I'll pass. Good luck to everyone ;)

Seeing that there are other expressions for a preference for the Rigol, if my name comes out second and the Rigol has already been claimed, I wouldn't turn down the Tek  :D.



Yes, I know the odds favour an 'Also Ran', but it's fun thinking about it.

It looks like the new scope will be arriving middle of next week so I am going to revive this thread. Time to make good on the promises made.

I was just thinking about how you were getting on with your new gear. Hopefully everything arrives in good working order!

The Keysight MSO6000X 6Ghz scope has arrived in perfect working order. It is now time to make good on this promise.

Printing out the list, I will cut it into strips, put it in a hat and pull the winners out of the hat. Should be ready to go tomorrow mid day Pacific time.

Very entertaining. The best horse race is one in which you have no horse.

Funniest part is those saying "I have no use for such a good scope, it can go to someone else."
