I did try if some pick-up was via the power supply lead by adding a few ferrites, but that did not help. Anyway, the result remains useful typically, even with the noise pick-up |

I say beehive they put a switch on the amplifier and it has better connectors you will never get the tekbox powered up, it looks like it has that esoteric usb connector on it |

The probes and preamp also all came in a very nice, high-quality wooden box: I was kind of surprised by that. |

I am picking up some noise in the lab, the spikes on the noise factor come and go. For about 4€ including shipping a very useable device also. --- End quote --- It does seem to be a hit an miss with these boards. A friend of mine bought 2 board from this seller (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2961268?spm=a2g0o.detail.100005.2.623e2421xlV5yH) and the response looks completely different. NF >3db but gain is a little flatter. Visually his 2 devices look identical to mine. |

Are these using the same amplifier? If the gain is flatter then I doubt it. Or there is something wrong with the boards. |
