Hi Guys,

just tried to place an order for a NGP804, and was told there is a 3+ months lead time.

Anybody else encountered that ?

Thanks !

6+ weeks for some products has been normal for a couple of years with component shortages and shipping delays.
Then add another 6+ weeks to get things a few 1000km and things really start adding up.
FedEx and DHL are just loving it.

Lead times on R&S products vary based on the product, options, promotions etc.  It's definitely not 3 months for all products :)

I don't have visibility into lead times for Thailand (?), but I do know we have a worldwide promotion on power supplies (including an NGP package) going on right now.

Lecroy is pretty much the same supply time, waiting for a new WaveproHD lead time is cited at 18Weeks same for the Waverunner HD and HDO6000B as well. Usual chip supply issues

When we bought our two Lecroy scopes in 2019, we had to wait 3 months for them because the units are assembled in the U.S. only when ordered and are not in stock.
The chip crisis has probably made the wait time worse, no question.

Yeah, I understand that there is (was) a component shortage. But it seems many large manufacturers have their own stock ...

Siglent and ITECH don't appear to have this kind of issues. I am told the ITECH IT-N6952 is in stock for example.

This is NOT a high-end DSO, it's a fancy power supply. So it really is strange IMHO ...   :-//   |O

(Shipping to Thailand is usually quick. But we have to add a week for customs. Sometimes only a day, sometimes 4 days .... )

Cheers,
luudee
