Title: Rohde & Schwarz disappointed me today
Post by: hscade on February 27, 2018, 09:03:51 pm

Today at the embedded World fair in Nuremberg (Ger):
- I left all other booths behind and went straight to the R&S booth  :scared:.
- After some knob porn (oohh this indents) on the RTB,RTM,RTE,RTO,RTA  :-+  I've seen a RTC series (was at least new to me)
- Spec. and price  good, but the screensize is   :palm:   |O :palm: 6.5" VGA color display even for education way to to small.

I think R&S is reusing the casing of HMO1002/1202, hence the screen size.  R&S states this is the replacement model for HMO1002.1202 model. A quick glance through the datasheet the RTC does not have 50 ohms input as compared to its HMO1202  :-//.
The component tester feature is still there, but I wish they can make a variable output voltage option for it,instead of fixed 10V open circuit.

Different kind of disappointment:
Recieved 3 RTH1004s, and one is DOA and doesnt boot. Not the sort of unboxing experience you expect from R&S. Sure it will be exchanged, but still.
