There is already a market of ITAR-free satellite components (or complete sats). It's not just the restrictions and sanctions per se, but also associated bureaucracy to stay in compliance, even for legitimate customers. Everyone who has even been dealing with ITAR knows how much of the pain the butt it is.

You'd crazy if you did.

Sure, Keysight makes great stuff, with lost of good engineers. But, just saying that the company has been around for XY years, does not mean that the next product they ship will be great. Ever heard of the Boeing 737-Max? Boeing has 70+ years of experience. Did lots of great planes, many better than Airbus, yet 737-Max is a disaster. Many of the engineers at Boeing that had experiences (and knew what they were doing) retired, and didn't really write down much. So the 737-Max was done by newer engineers that made all sorts of mistakes, the elder (and now retired) engineers probably wouldn't. So it's useless to say that the company has 70+ engineers, if the newer products are done by newbies.
Again, not saying Keysight is a bad company, or that Rigol is a great one.

Call me superficial, but having an e-paper label that refreshes when you software-upgrade the device is super cool...
--- Quote ---The model and main parameters of the product are displayed on the electronic sign, and the content can be kept for 20 years even in the shutdown state. After the instrument is upgraded, the performance parameters can be automatically refreshed to ensure that the instrument asset information matches.

The video says 16 bits. :-//
But 8 bits is enough for anybody when you have a high sample rate. Just average a few samples together and you can have 10, 12, any number of bits you like.

All brands that I used to love disappointed me at some point. So now just buy whatever suits me best, without much looking at the label.
