It's raining outside?

Deathwish · « **Reply #2 on:** July 22, 2015, 10:12:59 am »

Yeah it always does in wales. I am sitting here too excited to open the darn thing. Bad things happen when I am excited, like being dropped or broken when ripping open packages

Rigol branded ghetto blaster for holding on your shoulder while strutting down the street?

You should definitely get a crocodile dundee knife then.

Noo, it would be in bits in seconds, Dave gets enough thrown at him that unless it is sex on legs he doesn't get excited now I guess.

Looks like the same box my 1054 came in.

Deathwish · « **Reply #8 on:** July 22, 2015, 10:50:07 am »

Spot on John, its my 1054z.

i opened it, got the manual out to read, thought "oh my god, its a flight manual for a jumbo jet" and ran away from it, darn thing is worlds away from my old scope.

Think I am going to get a function gen and freq gen, after I get one of those nice HP Dmm's kev's selling. Never had a decent Bench meter before, always hand held ones. ~~I got a fluke 175 turning soon I hope~~ , I miss my old fluke 73/75 ( I forget which one it was now ) I had years ago

Ignore that , My fluke from Toploser just turned up too. Woohoo, now I know how Dave feels when he gets all that kit posted to him.....

I think, a chainsaw would be the appropriate tool. A lot of households in Wales got one, I was told

Those are only carried by the Welsh Nationalists in case of dragons invading, however Camilla has not been around here lately.

Same as I was thinking. Number one caution around here is, 'can the cats knock this over or hurt themselves with it?'

My slow combustion wood burning heater now has random metal objects spread across its top surface, to make it impossible for cats to jump onto. Cats are not very bright. Don't ask.

“If a cat sits on a hot stove, that cat won't sit on a hot stove again. That cat won't sit on a cold stove either. That cat just don't like stoves.”

I love cats, but right now if a cat sat on my scope it would be running around with chili powder up its rear end.

GreyWoolfe · « **Reply #19 on:** July 22, 2015, 07:57:56 pm »

It took over a year of spraying my stepdaughter's cats with a water bottle to convince them that my office is somewhere they don't want to go. Even after all that, every once in awhile, one will still try it. I keep flashing back to a bumper sticker I had years ago-I love cats, they taste just like chicken. I put it just about my personalized Woolfie1 license plate. Did a good job of offending people-I presume cat lovers. I will take my dogs over a cat any day. I do have a big enough pot for the 2 of them.

Sounds good to me, throw in some curry paste too.

I still have not turned this thing on, it is sitting there staring at me.

Nope. I am actually trying to work something out regarding the hack on it, is it worth doing it now or waiting, do I have to uninstall anything first or just enter a new key. so much info on here but some is contradictory to me and others missing bits.

tautech · « **Reply #23 on:** July 23, 2015, 09:57:41 am »

Just use the bloody thing, it won't bite.
Hack it anytime.

VK5RC · « **Reply #24 on:** July 23, 2015, 11:08:19 am »

Great purchase , don't read the manual too much it will confuse anybody. Find the factory reset procedure (for later on) then have a good PLAY.
I think you learn a lot more when you are playing.
