As far as i remember he was "allowed" to do it at his discretion. --- End quote --- Yes of course and he still pops into threads to help/guide occasionally. However as mentioned in another thread today it's almost laughable that KS still remains a major forum advertiser here in a forum full of hobbyists whom they clearly state they are not interested dealing with. :-// Maybe their advertising revenue is just too fruitful for Dave to join the protest and push back denying them advertising here ! |

I think Keysight needs to formally explain and clarify their policy. Otherwise that steaming turd will continue to stink up the forum. Saying it's "legal" doesn't cut it. They make specific educational market goods to be used by students, sell to the school - yet won't sell to hobbyists/sole proprietors/students? The only explanation I can come up with is Keysight attempting to close backdoor sales to hostile countries, after the $6.6M fine for export violations selling test equipment (radar analysis software) to the commies. OK you now want total control of your sales channels, but the mob will always find ways around that. IDK if there's more paperwork and traceability. This new DC power supply family can't really be an instrument of war, nor a bench multimeter - so why else discriminate against the small fish? |

I don't underestimate a user family and support yet, as a hobbyist, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket with regard to equipment manufacturers. I'm in a function gen, an insulation tester/dmm, and another dmm with Keysight and that seems about the right amount for me. |

I think at a minimum they will have conducted a full review of their sales channels. Quite possible that this made the legal department realize that they were potentially selling directly to consumers and they went "wait, what, are you !@#$% mad, you can't do that". |
