content: It is a surprise to me as well.Perhaps this is an effort to bring up the standard of product on offer. There's just so much you can get with gimmicks like aspring loaded pistol flyswatter.Making it available online would seem a sensible step as an initial test of the waters. Only one comparably small stock holding and very well priced. It makes me wonder if this move is successful that Jaycar might make further moves into other more professional directions. Keysight 1000X series scopes, perhaps? If so, would they venture into the 2000X or 3000X ranges?It will be interesting to see what they will have on offer in 12 months.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on November 27, 2018, 02:49:55 amI initially suspected they might be getting them from Trio who also have a few discounted but their current prices are nowhere near Jaycars, Trio would probably still have to look after any warranty issues being the local distributor. I don't need any more meters but if I did it would be a U1232A and a U1242C to complete my collection.Trio Test & Measurement/ Keysight Handhelds.https://www.triotest.com.au/store/122-keysight-technologies?id_category=122&n=16
