EEVBlog 121GW Discussion thread

<< < (363/411) > >>

1anX:
IMHO the 121GW never lived up to the pre KickStarter hype or the potential of the design. Major hardware problems with the selector switch and then auto-ranging times, etc, with the firmware, set the scene for a troubled launch.

I bought into the KickStater event knowing full well the V1.0 could be a lemon, but love EEVBlog and supported Dave in the venture. Well the meter is usuable and a good size for limited bench space, so for basic multimeter functions it gets used. I'm surprised Dave is closing off forum discussion on the meter's issues and would like very much to hear Dave's reasons for doing it.

I personally would not buy another test instrument from Dave for the simple reason that I think customer support is not at a professional level and many other wholesaler/retailers do a much better job. Stick with what you do well is always a good mantra to follow.

Dave is really good at critically and objectively evaluating test instruments and EEVBlog teardowns and forums are the best in class.

That is not certain.

All we know is that the thread is no longer available.  There could be other reasons.

I would like to have a specific response before venturing any further down that path.

I did delete a new thread the other day that someone started that was a duplicate of a post in the Isssues thread, but that was it, I did not deliberate remove the Issues thread.
It's possible I deleted the wrong thing  :palm: , I need to investigate....

Brumby:
Ah....

Will the lynch mob please stand down.

EEVblog:
Yep, it was deleted  :(
I can see the entire thread in the deleted posts section but the Restore Topic function doesn't seem to be working, I have no idea why. It spins the wheels for a few second and goes back the list as if it worked, but it's still in the deleted section.
So I'm currently at a loss as to how to get this back  >:(
