How about they forgot to 'metal coat' a whole batch?  >:D

I had a fake one that I would never have suspected to be a fake one because it worked so well.
Well, I sold it anyways and the new owner was very happy with it.

As soon as you open up the case and find it not metal coated inside, it is a fake!
Because Agilent had shielding metal inside the housing already on the "A" version, as I have shown earlier in this thread.

Since mine I think is a B version, they could have opted to leave it out also.
So I  don't know why customer service to mention this to me earlier, but if you register on the site make an account you can register your product also. I guess this will start repeating if they are all the same fake batch being made.

Thanks. I guess as long as they work I don't mind too much if they're fake.

Is this one the one you're referring to?

I don't have much faith in that feature. They didn't recognize the serial number on my 82357b when I entered the first two letters as lower-case, and I still haven't figured why they don't recognize the SN on my early-run 34401a

Yes. Linux recognises it but I have not tested it fully yet.  :popcorn:
