... bought for me, so not strictly my purchase
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gikfun-Soldering-Practice-Project-87-108MHz/dp/B0C2T938DW
kit came with a missing AMS1117-3.3V LDO voltage regulator - but that was fun to research/source
... plenty of my own purchases were good, and fairly good quality, but above maybe the best value

A 1.7GHz scope that can capture 1mV ripple on a 1V step change, for £25. Philips PM3400
A 500inch long calculator.
An HP RF power meter including thermistor power sensor, for £20.
Differential voltmeter, 4-5 digit, 1000V, infinite resistance, for £20. Fluke 893.

Probably my TPlink MR600 4G router, apart from being brilliant and having all the features I wanted it has finally released me from the pain of dealing with a Telco (BT) copper landline that has never worked properly and they have no intention of fixing together with the non-availability of true fiber to the home (they offer the other joke stuff over copper & it also doesn't work!!). Now instead of being constrained to a ridiculously slow internet that required a modem reboot several times a week I have something usable that just stay's up......period :) I know I could have spent more money on something more sophisticated (but I only have 4G coverage) but this is a toe in the water for me of broadband over radio.
Gyro:
Should I be worried that I can't remember that far back? :scared:
