I am thinking about buying this generator. I like the number of features of this generator for such low price, but I see one disadvantage, maybe you could help me.
I initially decided to buy JSD6600 from FeelTech competitors, they have nice looking rubber buttons on the front panel like typical bench equipment. I expect that using "foil" buttons like on FY6600 it is not so convenient as using real rubber buttons. Could you say something about this? Are they hard to use on the table? Do generator moves when you try to press buttons?
There is another disadvantage — one that could totally outweigh your button concern. If you read back some pages from here, you'll see that this generator could lose its mind unexpectedly, rendering the device inoperative. That's what all the reverse engineering discussion is about.
Hello,
With GPSDO 10 Mhz the accuracy of the counter measurement FY2300H is + 95hz, displayed 10.000.095 Mhz

...Except that V3.2, the version currently being delivered from higher turnover sources, does not seem to show this problem.
Any body in Europe or otherwise (shipping ) who is willing to send their bricked unit or front panel to me for software testing?
I like to keep my unit working for comparison of features while testing out all functions. Will send it back when wanted or needed or when the software is up to par.
Paying €70 for a 15Mhz unit is a bit of waste in my opinion.
I finished the the reverse engineering of the front panel of my unit, just need to draw the schematics in some tool. Eagle is what I use normally for these tiny schematics.

Mine isn't bricked but is definitely doing more weird things than others; I still think some of the relays are bad.
You are welcome to my unit - where are you?

With the FW my unit was delivered with (3.2), clicking the encoder wheel with the selector on the frequency line (F1) changes the units between HZ, KHz, MHz, and uHz. In case anyone hasn't noticed that.
Anyone know how to change the modes the channels default to at power up? I don't really wagood enough.
