content: Quote from: grego on April 10, 2013, 07:51:42 pmHi Greg,Just checking to see if the DG4062 arrived yet? In the meantime, any thoughts on the main reasons to move up from the Rigol DG1022 to the DG4062 (I could probably come up with a bunch but I'd be curious to know what you and others think). It looks like a GREAT product! Thanks, EFPS, hows that GW-Instek Logic Analyzer review coming?

content: Oh man, Ive got ANOTHER one for you! I just placed an order for an Agilent 34450A and the lead time from the factory (as the reseller I went through only orders Agilent products directly through the factory) is 16 WEEKS! Thats FOUR MONTHS!But it saved me about $150 going through them plus I still get the two upgrades Agilent is offering for free right now.

content: Quote from: ben_r_ on May 16, 2013, 05:30:41 pmWhen I tried to order from testequipmentdepot.com, they told me that since they are 2nd tier Agilent distributors, they cannot do promos. Also Agilent gave me a hard time with the 34450A promo since I filled out the form after May 31; it took a week to receive the DMM due to shipping. Now that I just got the 34450A with the two options, Agilent has released the new 34461A for ~300USD more. I feel like you with your U3401A dilemma; I can still return it, but would need to pay shipping and 25% restocking to exchange for the newer 34461A.

content: Quote from: fpga on June 11, 2013, 11:02:10 pmYea they gave me a little flap, but I got them to send me a paid in full invoice/receipt showing the purchase date withing the promo time and I saved screenshots and the PDF of the promo and I called Agilent to make sure they would honor it despite how long its taking to get the unit. Ill go ballistic if they try and deny me. Still have three months wait to go too. Soo sad... I probably wont be selling the U3401A though. I think Ill just use it as my benchtop DMM in the garage. I got that thing for too cheap, its just not worth it to bother selling it I dont think. We'll see.
