content: Even the definition of 'Genuine' Arduino is a bit open to debate just recentlyIf you're willing to compromise your ideals and go for a 'pattern' kit then places like Banggood, Aliexpress and MiniInTheBox have them for around 30 EUR which even have LCDs, steppers, servos and the other bits and pieces in them,http://www.banggood.com/Arduino-Compatible-UNO-R3-Starter-Kit-Set-For-Step-Motor-1602-LCD-p-89735.htmlis an example...(not a reccomendation!) The Uno boards in those kits often even say "Made in Italy" on them....but I doubt it.They also make great Christmas presents for potentially geeky sons, daughters, nieces and nephews....but you're honour bound to introduce them to 'proper' microcontrollers when they grow up <FX>Flameproof Trousers On</FX>.DAVE

May be a bit off.The DC standard was switched on 5 minutes before measurement.Quick specs out of the instruction manual:Fluke Model 343ARange Accuracy (whichever is greater)10V +/-0.003% of setting or +/-0.0003% of range100V +/-0.003% of setting or +/-0.0001% of range1000V +/-0.003% of setting or +/-0.0001% of rangePlease make realistic offersThe calibrator is located in Munich, Germany.I can ship the item via UPS worldwide (buyer pays the shipping cost) but I would prefer local pickup (note: oktoberfest starts soon in about two weeks, please consider: you could combine calibrator pickup and oktoberfest to justify the travel)Best regards,Bernhard

Lots of aircraft aluminium used and lovely machined hand knobsThe current feed is a helix but this is easily changed to a suitable dipole for L band use.I have two complete dishes, plus another of different design.... same size but fibre glass petals that lock together to form the dish.The feed is crossed dipoles for Inmarsat C. It has a mounting pole on the rear. Again, light weight and portable.All dishes are designed to work outdoors as well as inside.I was going to sell them on ebay some time.What is a dish like this worth to you ?. I may be persuaded to sell one, or all of them, now. Rare items these days as you likely know.AuroraIn the United Kingdom

content: Hey guys, I’ve got a Keithley 2000 that’s in good shape, aside from a yellowed front panel. I’ve taken it entirely apart and cleaned all the trim, checked all the caps, applied DeoxIT Gold to the front panel PCB contact traces and ran a full diagnostic set; no failed tests. Internal date codes show a mid-to-late 90’s vintage. Last calibration seems to have been in 2009; it disagrees with my HP 3456A by a few uV.Special eevblog price: $250 shipped inside the US (will ship international if you pay actual costs over $20) , or I’d be willing to do a full or partial trade for a high quality frequency counter, GPSDO parts or a Rubidium standard.Note: The bezel isn’t quite as yellow as it looks; I used incandescent lights when taking the pictures and had my white balance set wrong. Note the warm tint on the white labels in the last picture for comparison.

However on the back side all of the outputs have overvoltage terminal. You can wire them all together and use it to enable or disable the outputs (you need some external circuitry to do that, I think minimum is a switch, a diode and a resistor).
