Priced a bit higher than the FY6900 but by all accounts a much more substantial option. --- End quote --- That model costs twice as much as a FY6900 ! I don't know what your problem is with the FY6900. It is a decent function generator with all the basic features for a low price. The value for money is so great that you basically can't go wrong with buying a FY6900. If it turns out to be inadequate at some point, it will serve fine as an extra generator. If the hobby is abandoned, not much money is lost. |

Kerry Wong (youtube) just reviewed an Owon DGE2070. That might be another option to consider... that said, the Uni-t UTG962E looks a bit more usable - I'd definitely prefer having the sync out option. |

It also has the ability to use an external sync reference and it goes out to 80MHz. Plus a bunch more good news. I've nothing against the FY6900. For years I had a JDS6600-60 .. still do. A very similar device that shared a lot with the the FY6900-- including a deplorable power source and a not to accurate internal oscillator. I know they can be fixed for about $30 (because I did it) but it's better not to need to. Still, when I bought the JDS6600-60, it was considerably less costly than it is today. It was worth the $75 I paid for it, I guess, but I'm not sure about $100+, especially considering the cost of upgrading the PS and the OSC. Anyway, just throwing out some other options. |

Not knowing much at the time, I went on the recommendations that I read on EEVblog when I bought my SDG1032X. It's a great machine. I probably don't exploit the capabilities of it like the majority do but I haven't had one issue with it since I bought it about 4 years ago. I haven't done any updates to it either so maybe I need to get on the ball in that arena. If and when my Fluke 45 multimeter poops-out I'll spring for one of Siglents models to grow the family. I always saved-up to buy the best I can. Looking back, I never had any regrets buying things that way :-+ |
