--- Quote from: mansaxel on July 19, 2022, 03:46:05 am ---I grew up close to an airbase. I know how it sounds when the daily Soviet provocation is doing something out of the ordinary, the afterburner flames of the Drakens growing as long as the planes and the idea of a sound nuisance adapted ascent is thrown out of the cockpit along with the coffee as the start order comes on the wire. (The planes, when at higher on-ground readyness states, have the pilot sitting in, and the plane wired to a party-line analog phone circuit with the Fighter Controller on, to not have a radio going off radiating. )

I think it is a sign of a better more peaceful world where people foster an innocence about these things.

Si vis pacem, para bellum. Though.

My sister is living in Jagel, 1km from the airbase. The end of the runway is abt. 200m from their house. There is less traffic than before, but still the training for pilots of the PA-200 Tornado.

Thank you.

Good luck with that  :-DD

On topic for a change … 10 miles from me:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185505328186

Not sure where I’d put it until I’ve moved though  :-DD
Maude it’s repairable but it’s the SMPS variety which can be a bugger to fix.

your mileage may vary....but that is my least favorite piece of TE.

bought mine new in about 1993 and it gets very little use.

the little slide on clip ground leads on the probes are dogshit, unreliable, and mostly self destructed in the first couple of years.

had to replace the electroluminescent backlight panel about 10 years ago.  it was not too difficult but the color has never looked right since.

the banana jacks on top are used only for ohms, diode test, and mV up to 3V.  for any voltage test above 3V you have to switch to the bnc jacks and use a probe.  i always forget and it annoys the shit outa' me.

the connector on the power supply is dogshit and practically unobtanium when you have to replace it. and replace it you will.

but it is handy when you need to make isolated/differential measurements.  just slap in some batteries.  then it is for sure isolated and you are good to go.

why do i keep it?  because it is one of the things the evil one wanted out of the divorce in '94.....but i got it.

You'd have a fight on your hands if you tried to take mine away from me!   :-DD

I paid less than a set of fluke probes go for on ebay, so I thought I'd give it a go. I already have a Siglent SHS806, so I don't really (insert the forbidden n-word here) it.

Saskia:
Thinking about downsizing my scope collection.

Anyone (Germany, northern Europe) interested in:
Keysight MSO 3054T w/MSO option, 4/16 channels, 4 500MHz probes, 1 active probe (N2795A), Ethernet interface (asking 5k€) rarely used, excellent condition
Keysight 2002A w/ adaptations and MSO cable plus 2 150 MHz probes, additional front panel (for adaptation to 4 channels) (asking 900€) ? rarely used, excellent condition

I still have enough scopes to afford selling of those 2. Offering them here, first.

On topic,
Some TE I made last week for a private customer. Still can't tell you what it is though.
