Hi Dave - My son asked me to build a robot so we've been learning electronics together. It's been a great learning experience and good father/son time. I hope you like the video we made! He doesn't quite understand what an oscilloscope does yet but maybe he'll learn
Hello Dave and David,
High school student here from Croatia, hope you enjoy the video.
(Apologies for the shaky camera, had auto-stabilization off)

I would love to get my hands on this scope, it would help with my projects and channel immensely,
We have one at work and its a really gone one, but its being used all the time so I don't get a chance to do my own projects on it
Hopefully I can get it and I will pass on my Sencore 100MHz CRT scope to someone else who needs a scope without the need of all the fancy measurement features.
I did apply for the job David 2 now has, I cried for weeks when I didn't get it (sympathy plug) so this may help ease the pain

Greetings from the very hot Athens, Greece. Lucy and I hope, that you will excuse the 1 second longer than allowed video
Hi Dave.
I'm engineer from the Criman astrophysical observatory (CrAO). Long time subscriber, thanks for your great videos!
Here in CrAO i'm developing many of hardware and software projects for real science and my own amateur projects.
Sorry for video length, it little bit longer than 2 minutes. Really i shot a lot videos and tried to put this in your limits withot loosing details...
So, this video is about 3 meter amateur radiotelescope. This device developing for hydrogen line observation, known objects monitoring and new sources detection. Additionally i've tried to combine main receiver with a 10-12 Ghz LNB. This is pure experimental construction.
Unfortunately my lab doesn't have required or very good instruments for developing such complex projects. So some parts is just calculated and tested on the antenna without any laboratory tests.
And i'm only one sw and hw developer on this projects. I have an colleague and friend who helps me with materials and mechanics. Our finances is very limited so we unable to get modern tools.
Of course your scope will be a good addition in this (and future) work.
This projects is fully open and i will publish all the source codes and schematics on github.
Anyway if i don't win i just happy to announce this project and open to any advices and questions.
Hi
Dave &
David!
I'm from
Australia, Not
Austria! I met you (Dave) a couple of times at the
Electronex exhibition in Melbourne.
Thank you for this contest opportunity!
I had assumed 2 minutes would be more than enough time for my entry video, turned out it hardly was!
My old analog scope could benefit from an upgrade!
- The trace is wonky
- Some scan rates are out of spec
- It's difficult to measure anything
- It's difficult (or sometimes impossible) to even get to the part I want to measure
- And don't get me started on packets and protocols!
That being said, here is my video entry.
Hi Dav{e,id},
it was a lot of fun just making that video, thanks for that incentive. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did ;-)
No need to write more about me here, it's all in the clip!
Cheers
Frank

Hi,
Here is my submission. I'm an electronics engineer, I'm busy setting up my own electronics lab. I want to do more of my own development and design work without having to borrow equipment from work or friends.
I'm currently studying part time towards a masters degree in electronic engineering while working full time for an engineering startup. The main subject of my video is the test bed for my masters research - it's to study different active battery balancing strategies. However I'd like to take it further into development and perhaps even production, once I've improved on it, and completed my degree.
Hope you enjoy the video

I hope you like my project. It'll be open source later this year and I'd love community support for it.
Thanks
Trev
Hi Dave and David!
We are SKALP, group of robotics constructors from Poland. We want to use your scope in most important project that could be!
See video to find out what that is

Thanks for the opportunity! It would never get the chance to cool down!

I should probably mention i didnt buy the nice fluke meter. It was actually given to me.

Hello David and Dave,
Hope you appreciate the ORAL B take on this entry!
I am a physicist by education and electronic design engineer by professional trade that works independently developing laser control orientated hardware. In times where people like me struggle to find any consistent work in the science technology field where the market is now dominated by Oil and Gas (certainly here in Australia), independent inventive development and/or repair work is the only option presently available. The potential to acquire this Rohde & Schwarz RTB2004 oscillscope would mean a dramatic improvement in embedded prototype design (e.g. Mem, CPLDs & FPGAs) and testing compared to the limited resources that I have available. Most of all it would be something NEW that would further inspire both curiosity and inventiveness!
In ending I find your blogs very useful and interesting! I really envy the variety of test equipment that you have reviewed in the test measurement setup and needless to say other useless tips!

Entry from a youngster here! I'm 15 and have been watching your videos for years, and been active on the forums for a couple of years. I also really enjoy the discussions you and Chris have on the amphour. I'm a Ham licensed as an extra (Highest class in the U.S). I show a couple of my projects and radios I've built in the video, and my current (15mhz) oscilloscope whose capabilities I have saturated with my RF projects. Also having a logic analyzer would be very useful.
I enjoy building minimalist qrp (Low power) radios, building weird and wonderful antennas, and playing with digital logic circuits. Currently I'm not even able to view my hf rig's IF signal as my scope is too low bandwidth. Right now I am reading through the Art of Electronics, and Learning the art of electronics. Currently, all my homemade transceivers work in the HF spectrum, but I am in the design stages of building a homemade 6m ssb rig, as I have no low vhf capabilities right now.
My HF radio is quite old (Works great though!), but thankfully the designers left a acc port that allows you to control the vfo, transmit/receive, and a few other things, via a parrallel interface. Most modern radios allow a computer to control them over the 'cat' interface. In order to ease the use of digital modes, I'm am planning a 'cat' to my radio's parallel interface adapter.
Thanks for running this, Dave!

Hi Dave, I built a little project for the giveway, hope you like it!
The oscilloscope will be used to improve the super-secret project even more! hahaha
Hi amagents, This is my shot at fame
Regards
Hello Dave,
I would love to get that gorgeous scope. I have HMO1002, but 50MHz is already too slow for me. That scope is just one year old. Anyway I am moving to high frequency, high voltage and sometimes high power projects, so I need faster one. And I was looking right at the one you shown, just price is stopping me how. Renting is cheaper. On the other hand I am freelancer living from electronics, so I might be forced to buy it after all.
Small off topic I started my YouTube channel where I will be explaining interesting and/or hard to find thinks. Also some review are coming (just because even BK precision does not tell much about that product on their web site). My channel is called ESD Blog (no I haven't copied, initial idea was ESD (embedded system design)).

Hi Master Dave! Here my Video from Brazil.
Down in South America, this Oscilloscope cost a price of a car. I´ve created a new company, me and a Friend, and this would come in the right moment.
Please see my small video showing my Lab.
I aman old fan, sterted at theEEVBLOG #126 video.
Thanks for your nice Work and also for this amazing Oportunity.
Long Life and Prosperity for You!!

Hi
here is my submission, I am Suhail a Maker from Foxlab Makerspace. Fox Lab Makerspace is a non-profit, shared community workshop and lab. We are an organized group of local engineers and makers. We are still in search of equipment and tools that our members can use to build the next big thing.
We don't have a CRO yet in our makerspace. Still weare searching for a sponsor. As a makerspace, its an inevitable equipment for our makers for doing their projects. We belive this context will fill the big gap on our makerspace!

Hey Dave and David, here is my entry for the DSO. We are making a Self Driving Tractor. Hope you find the video interesting. Well I am tired of using the puny PC DSO and need something bigger to measure the Sine waves on our induction motor for our EV!

Hello Dave,
greetings from Italy, this is my entry, good luck to all
