Any news on the warranty issue?
Haven't heard back yet, the guy who knows is on vacation and back in town next week.
Also, regarding warranty, if the winner's scope is fulfilled through a distributor (I think they all did) it gets the standard warranty.
Maybe it is time now for the winners to start a new exclusive "Keysight scope month 2016 winners club" thread, where they all could gather together like around a big bonfire to exchange stories and pictures and all things suitable to cause watering mouths on mere mortals

Ahhh ... the torture!
..... unless I win one of Dave's ones with the hacked graphics
Well, it would be cool to see how they're using the fancy scopes.
Dave said he would draw a winner for the used Keysight scope March. Did I miss something?
No.
Dave has indicated he's been busy - but he did a test live stream a couple of days ago, so we are thinking he's getting close to making the draw.
Hopefully when Dave does the drawing he weeds the list of people he considers ineligible before doing the drawing. It would kill me to have him draw my name and then say "sorry, you don't have enough posts to win. Guess I have to draw again...."

When Dave closed his thread, he whittled it down from almost 1,000 posts to where it is now. So I think there won't be any re-draws from him.
At least I'm getting something for winning the Keysight prize:
"Discover the Power of the Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO)" marketing emails.
Daniel, are you any relation to Greg Bogdanoff, formerly of National Semiconductor?
As far as I know, I'm not related to Greg. But, it's a big extended family!
Didn't win a scope, but got a mug instead (my first Agilent)!
"Discover the Power of the Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO)" marketing emails.
Yep, I also got one advertisement Mail about educational DVDs from Keysight Germany to my address I used for the lottery. Is this the usual way participants of such events are treated at Keysight? Copy all addresses over to the ad distributor?

It's entirely likely that we will use your address for Keysight marketing e-mails. We respect the opt out, so if you get one from us feel free to hit that button. We ABSOLUTELY WON'T sell or distribute your info to anyone else. TANSTAAFL
I would rather read something like "Here is your free MSOX3104T" and requets for shipping address from you.
But I will see how it develops. If your ad mails are not getting too obtrusive or too stupid I can live with that. Hint: I work with high power RF sources (klystrons) in the L-Band (around 1GHz). Anything from few µW to MW is possible.
I got my scope today (or it was here on Friday, I just didn't know it). Any news from other winners?
Or, the only problem was that I had it delivered to my work, which is an electronics company, and our lab technician is apparently too busy setting up our new lab. So I found my scope set up on one lab bench today
PMSL!
I guess that explains the "got it today, but it was here Friday" thing. Cheeky lab tech half inching your 'scope! That must have been a little surreal

Congrats!
I got mine 4/15. Strange thing, the distributor told me it would ship on 5/5, so imagine my mixed emotions of annoyance and joy when I saw the box on my porch. Had I known, I would have made sure I was around to accept the package - we've had a rash of package thefts in our neighborhood lately. Fortunately, no issues here.
anxiously waiting.......not sure when to expect anything.
The same here, I was told the shipping would be next week and I never got information it was shipped. And then it understandably got mixed with the 25 other Keysight boxes at work, although I had said I am expecting a scope
And seriously, the lab guy should have noticed that it is a different model than he had ordered. But all good after all.
I guess we didn't get any software unlocking codes? Not that I am complaining, just asking because some previous winners had had them and to make sure I haven't lost any papers in that confusion (needed to dig some papers from a bin...)
And congrats to rx8pilot! I did not follow all the twists of the scope month aftermath but apparently it turned out well! That scope is a beast!
Count yourself lucky you didn't get it with a company asset number already burned into the case
Did you ask them about the software options? Dave, in one of his vids, mentioned that the "crusty old dumpster scopes" he gave away were fully optioned up.
I don't know if I am gonna get mine. I am in extended leave abroad and I was using my work mail account which have been suspended. Last time I checked the distributor was suppose to contact me. That was 2 weeks ago...
