content: I tried to buy a DHO1074 yesterday and today I get an email from TEquipment saying "We were just informed by the manufacturer that the Rigol DHO1074 is restricted and unavailable.". I also got a voice mail saying all DH01000's are restricted. They would be happy to sell me a DHO4204 for $1,700 more. Has annoy else been told this?Thanks, Tom

content: IIRC there was something about resellers that sold the DHO4000 series were barred (by Rigol) from selling the DHO1000 series.

content: Quote from: williamlee on April 08, 2023, 03:35:42 pmAs for TEquipment not shipping a Fluke to NZ, I'd guess that some Fluke distributor(s) in NZ has an agreement with Fluke that carves out exclusive territory. That's a very common arrangement.It's a reason why Dave doesn't offer more Brymen meters on the EEVBlog store and why the meters he does sell often have to have a different feature set from the other Brymen meters in the same "family". I wonder why that didn't happen with the BM235?-https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-eevblog-bm786-multimeter/msg3601022/#msg3601022
