content: In comparison to EDA this forum is far more sociable and chatty but I would dispute your claim about it having more knowledge. Especially for subjects like RF design.I thought EDA was pretty good in this respect with quite a few people on there who are either students who are studying RF design or doing it professionally. There's very little RF activity on here by comparison. Mostly just basic hobby related stuff and the technical level of the replies is a bit blinkered and grim generally.Most of the traffic on here is just chatty worship of CAD tools + test gear (and the calibration/accuracy of it) by over enthusiastic hobbyists but I think EDA board just about qualifies as a genuine all round engineering forum that discusses real engineering issues.My main criticism of EDA is that it is very dull (in a social sense) in comparison to Eevblog. The forum layout even 'looks' gloomy.http://www.edaboard.com/forum26.htmlhttp://www.edaboard.com/forum27.html

content: I've tried to read edaboard but it seems like 90% of the content is someones homework and not somebody actually building something so it is pretty boring. So I agree with marshallh

But it is also very different to Eevblog in that the key focus on EDA is usually something to do with engineering tasks. Even if some of it is student/learning related.By comparison Eevblog seems obsessed with 'ongoing lab status' and the associated modern tools/test equipment and its calibration (to stupidly unrealistic levels of accuracy). i.e. it is much more blinkered in an engineering sense.

content: Yes there is a lot of needless test equipment / setup wankery here.. I just ignore itIt is very hobbyist-y but a lot of that seems to be the old pros have much lower post density than the mjlorton-wannabes...
