Found a slightly clearer bit of the video. Definitely a HP 181AR storage scope with 1805A vertical & 1820C timebase, good for 100MHz, I don't have either plug-in.

TV ads are good coin when you can get it.  :)

Oh yes indeed, there is what looks like a cool Tektronix Vector scope / TV thing of a bob at the bottom of the pic ! >:D

Well not 100% sure it's a Tek, but they made similar looking ones in the same kind of colour.

LOL, IIRC they just photoshopped the other stuff in as it was a static image.  :horse:

Never believe all the camera shows !  ;)

They said they need to interview a few more people in the coming days, and that I could probably expect a reply, positive or negative, in a week or so.

Well done! Potential for more TE money. Which is good. Thumbs are held.

Rogers is still totally screwed.

Anyways, so what have I been doing with the day other than sleeping in after a seriously late night?  Going through some test equipment arrivals and some other miscellaneous stuff.



This HAKKO solder reel stand was an impulse purchase.  Even if it's a knockoff, it'll still hold two reels and help organize the build bench a bit better.



I got a 10% off coupon a while ago so I ordered a second RF adapter kit to keep in the truck permanently along with some of the companion interconnect cables since I'm spending a serious amount of time in the truck these days.



The Keysight U1253B kit I mentioned I ordered a while ago after the one on Facebook Marketplace fizzled finally arrived.  Paying full retail stung but the one that's supposedly available locally turned out to be a total non-starter.  I even got a friend to message about it and he never heard back from the seller either.  I think part of the problem with the flakeyness on Facebook Marketplace vs. Kijiji, and wow, saying something's flakey compared to Kijiji, comes down to the fact that Kijiji's always been a buy and sell site while Facebook's a social media platform that's trying to muscle in on that territory.  The COVID-19 edition of Ugly's is pretty useful as a reference as long as you know where things differ between Canada and the US.



Turns out the QR code reader function doesn't need the QR code to occupy much of the frame to operate since it picked up on that tiny part of the multimeter's box where the code for the link to their website is.





While I've been putzing around with all of this, a pork loin's been cooking in the smoker.  The whole area has a nice, gentle pecan smoke smell to it.  It's been a few hours so we'll probably be able to smell the pork soon too.  Also, one of the neighbours was flying a tiny, fits in the palm of your hand-sized drone the other day and it got picked up by the wind and blown into my back yard where it crashed into the lawn.  I was rushing to finish mowing the lawn before it got dark and I didn't see it but I sure heard it when the mower ran over it.  I stopped and looked to see what happened and that's all I found.

It's been a very quiet day.  My internet still works but phone's out courtesy of Rogers.  From what I've heard, it sounds like it's been a total mess out there today so I was glad to have the day off to putter around at home before going back to work tomorrow morning.
