And usually the honest one doesn't cost 10% more, but 200% more... Not saying it's OK either, just that's how it is and since none of us is going to change it that we just have to be aware and deal with it. |

Everything is fine with specs of lab grade equipment from "big names" like HP Keysight, R&S, Anristu and so on. |

It only takes a prominent forum member to make a post about some wonderful piece of cheap shit he got and everyone will rush to buy same shit and empty the sellers stock in no time. Good for the seller. --- End quote --- Herd not heard. |

Nobody is saying that cheap gear should perform like name brand stuff that costs orders of magnitude more, I just expect specs to be reasonably honest. |
