No not me, I don't buy from sites that are not in English as it's the only language I know, yes I know that sounds stupid, but in my days at school, languages was not really an option.

The item is in Rushden, England (where I spent my first few years, before ending up in Scotland and now near Crewe) and no I've never dealt with that seller, nor do I want a Fluke/Tek DMM.

Seller is in the UK, I only got it via Ebay.de

Am watching Edd China's latest video on YT, got a shock... spotted a piece of TE in the background as decoration. No light bulb mounted on it so that's good... well there IS a lamp on top of it, but I can see its base so it's just sitting atop the TE, not bolted to it I think  :phew:

It's too far away in the background to figure out exactly what it is, completely out of focus. Some kind of old HP spectrum analyzer perhaps ?!  :-//

Looks like you called it right:


--- Quote from: https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/08/canada_rogers_outage/ ---The outage has been going on for several hours, seemingly nearly 11 hours at time of writing. The communications giant acknowledged the broken connectivity at about 1300 UTC (0900 ET) but it appears from online complaints and the Cloudflare internet radar, the trouble began much earlier, around 0830 UTC (0430 ET).

According to that radar, there was a surge in BGP routing announcements at around 0845 UTC for Roger's AS812 block of the internet. Other Rogers' blocks show networking difficulties.

IIRC it's a SDS2102X with inbuilt 25 MHz AWG and 140 Mpts mem depth. You should be able to improve it to 300 MHz however it probably comes with 100 MHz switchable probes although it has autosense which IIRC will detect 10x and 100x probes.
I had the 300 MHz 4ch model for a few years and have a pile of FW versions for these although you might need some tv84 CFG magic to convert it back to a Siglent.

Oh and mnem, keep your eyes open for the SPL2016 16ch digital probe set but not just in Siglent colors as these also are used by LeCroy, Tek and Rigol and there's also the DIY thread to make a set:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/diy-logic-analyzer-probe-and-pods-for-siglent-scopes/
However the OEM sets with the nice 10 way silicon ribbon coax is far superior to anything you can cobble up at home however Defpom did a reasonable job converting a set he got off ePay to fit his SDS2104X Plus.

What's your take on TK's adapter for the HP pods? Yay or nay vs oz2cpu's adapter?

TBH if you can be bothered to cobble something together use the oz2cpu/Defpom method.
Why, because of mwyatt's contribution simulating my measurements to come up with the values of the passives in the networks of the OEM probe.
These things OEM whom as yet I've not found who makes them are damn expensive but don't forget a 20 lot of decent  quality grabbers alone will set you back a C note !

Or if you not in a hurry, keep an eye out for one that looks identical but made for LeCroy, Tek or Rigol and a little sleuthing on each of their websites will get you the Pt. # to look for.......then post them in the DIY thread for the benefit of others.  ;)

I'm 100% they all have the same OEM and the twin thin silicone 8 way ribbon coax (that's a mouthful ! ) is a thing of beauty and near impossible to emulate unless you got mates in the company where it's made to get offcuts !
That's why Defpom went the route he did so to get something nice for his efforts rather than some cobbled together twisted pair mess.

Last year Siglent were specialing SPL2016 + MSO/LA and AWG/FG licensing with a new SDS2000X Plus for just $ 219 that was one hell of a deal compared to shelling out retail for each.
