content: If somebody has a reasonably priced analogue RF milivoltmeter like HP3400A, please let me know. I prefer shipping from Germany or, even better, somewhere around Mannheim, so I can go and pick-it up myself, because I don't want to strangulate the delivery gorilla, is somehow frowned around here and is never the same one.Many thanks,DC1MCNo, please don't waste time with offers found on EBAY/Kleinanzeigen and such, I look there myself.

content: Quote from: krugger on October 30, 2020, 05:27:12 amThat's not a smart copy, its a plain dumb copy.Works fine if the new device doesn't have any bad blocks, or bad blocks in the same place as the old device.Otherwise you are screwed.A smart copy would make an effort to interpret a NAND filesystem and move blocks when required, adjusting filesystem pointers.Also, I advise people to avoid MCUmall.Very slow and unprofessional technical support.

Forum section: electronics / general

timestamp: October 25, 2020, 01:39:02 pm
content: This TDS3054 came to me on a trade-in from a customer who was looking for a newer scope.It appears to be an engineering or prototype unit given the serial # and the odd firmware version.Passes self test and SPC 10 times each. Even though I just ran SPC today on October 25th, it still states it was run on Nov 25th. (Firmware bug?) I changed the date to Nov. 26th 2020 and ran it again. Now the scope states that the last SPC was run on Dec. 26th 2020. Yep, that's a firmware bug! There's probably more of those, expect some weirdness...Floppy drive is good.There is a 4cm vertical line on the lower left corner of the LCD off the graticule area. It's hard to see, and it does not extend all the way up the screen, which is odd. See close-up.Bandwidth is tested and it's -3dB point is about 600MHz. It triggers OK on all four channels @ 600MHz as well.This scope ignores firmware update disks, so the firmware can't be changed to a released version. At least not in the normal manner...Dallas chip is keeping time when powered off. Scope has 5114 hours on it.$500 + shipping. Paypal only to the continental US.I'll take a return if you decide it's not for you, but shipping is not refundable.Thanks.

content: I've been playing a bit more with the TDS3054 this morning. It has DC offsets that are outside of what they should be.SPC, while passing, does not seem to correct this as it should. Whether this is a firmware issue, or a calibration issue, I don't know.Someone has expressed interest, so I'm updating the thread.

Sent an online enquiry and waited.Monday morning I got a email for password reset and a confirmation of online enquiry within a few minutes of eachother. Voucher still not working at lunch time, but when I got home from work it was accepted. 5 days later I’ve still not actually had a rely to my enquiry....You are also meant to get a $10 instore credit for every $200 you spend, not sure how that works but I’ll see. My order is meant to be arriving early next week.

content: This isn't worth starting a new thread for so I'll stick it here for anyone who may be interested.I went to Jaycar Cheltenham yesterday and picked up a couple of these Meanwell 15W 15VDC 10A power supplies for about $8.30 ea. They are $13.72 in the website but I didn't tell them that.https://www.jaycar.com.au/search?text=mp3112&CSRFToken=856d71fd-208f-4687-b8da-021b72417ad4So I bought the two available.With long discontinued items they are thin on the ground but I asked with the intention of putting the word out. I still can't venture more than 25km. And 850km to Dubbo is definitely out of bounds. So they are available for anyone in Dubbo. Didn't ask how many.Also Officeworks in Waurn Ponds and Mornington have LED fluoro tubes for 10c ea apparently. I bought the two in Richmond. Again I didn't ask how many they are more than 25km from me. Wouldn't drive that far for them anyway.I also got a Lenovo 8" tablet off display for $22.05 which is quite nice. And a few replacement gas lift cartridges for 50c ea.I hope that is useful to somebody.

content: A good price, but a normal ribbon cable like this person is selling is not the right thing to use with those flying leads or the scope to maintain signal integrity.The connecting ribbon is supposed to be a lossy cable, either the woven or tiny coax variety, to reduce reflections on the cable from fast edges. For slow edges it will probably work fine; YMMV.The same seller has another franken-probe, item 254587319947 (also for $49.95), but at least it looks like it's using the right woven lossy ribbon.

I only have a 44494A connector block to compare but the 3488A connectors appear to be identical except for the position of the PCB coding key. You could remove or relocate the coding key to suit the 44491A.

content: I once saw one of these mercury relays detonate. I suggest keeping a clear lexan box around the top, and a catch tray underneath in the event that it should burst.If you get Mercury on the floor it's a bugger to clean up. The little balls run everywhere and hide in all the cracks. People are terrified of mercury vapor, so clean up becomes more of a chore in paperwork, than in practice.You can't vacuum it up due to fears of it vaporizing. You can't soak it up. You basically have to mechanically remove it through patience on your hands and knees. If you research you may find people suggesting that you sprinkle sulfur, or other binding agents.the trick with all these things is to hire a professional outfit one time. Watch everything they do and ask lots of questions*There's nothing magical about hazardous work. . .Anyhow,I have had great luck using really large DC contactors. Say, those ready for 2000 volts and 500 amps. They utilize precious metals and inert gases... And this really is better than Mercury switch is in my humble opinion.But that doesn't address bouncing. Good luck in your adventure. I wonder if a really big SSR would do the trick?-methods

content: I want to get rid of 2x MD8480C (https://www.anritsu.com/en-us/test-measurement/products/md8480c). Both had been bought in auctions a few years ago. Both come with 2x GSM and 2x WCDMA plugins, the second also has the IQ module and ISDN module. All of them - for some weird reason - seem to have all software options unlocked. I have the corresponding software; for the second device I have the "WNS" software (like MD8470A - basically a GUI that lets you simulate a network and interactively play with the mobile). The "regular" usecase is to write test sequences in C, but it comes with working test sequences.The second one has slightly better specs (it can do HSPA, has the IQ input, ISDN input). Original price for each of them is beyond $600k(!). I'll give them away for free, BUT here's the catch:1. Units have been opened and may be missing some shipping screws. They are otherwise working to the best of my knowledge but of course there's no guarantee.2. Pickup only, Northern Germany (~60km around Hamburg). I'm not going to ship them, period.3. Please don't just pick it up to put it on ebay for resale.4. If you know a bit about GSM or WCDMA, and plan to use them for their original purpose, I'll add some more free test equipment on top.5. If you want to tear it apart, please post a teardown with decent pictures.6. I only give away the second one after the first one has been given away.

(For reference: the resistance of a 7mm spanner is 9mΩ)You can combine them as I did for 0-8V @ 0-250A // or // 0-16V @ 0-125A.Current limited + varaible voltage; these will happily drive into a short. Nice supplies.If someone is interested in both... I'll include the 10awg and 50mm jumpers free. If only one supply bought they are not included as I only have one set.33,000µF 40V capacitor: £FREEThis came out of a CNC lathe. Not sure why I kept it, but of no use to me now. Free!If you buy another item I can chuck it in if of any use. If you just want this, please cover postage.Saleae 16 Channel Logic Analyser: £20Had this forever... not sure where I bought it from but haven't used it for a million years. It only works with V1.18 of the Saleae logic software. I think I've a copy I can supply with it.No USB cable supplied. This looks a Chinese knock off version of the proper Saleae ones.(But did me well in my student days!)Postage:For the cap + logic analyser: postage to UK / EU / rest of world will be charged at cost + not included in the price.For any of the super heavy PSU's: FREE UK postage included in the price.If from somewhere else in the EU I will happily ship if you cover the extra postage costs. However please contact me for a postage price first.All items will be very well bubble wrapped.I will entertain posting to rest of the world, but I fear this might be quite expensive; however will happily quote it up as required, but posted at your risk.Thanks for looking!All the best,Dan

It comes with the carrying case, two SMA cables, two long USB mini cables, and one of the low frequency Amphenol cal kits from SDR-Kits also. I also have a printed copy of the VNWAKey.ini file that has the key for this VNWA.Edit: When I installed the 3EC part, I did not mount the reference clock input SMA; I believe I still have the piece though so I can search around for it to send also if interested.Looking to get $400 shipped in the US.

I still am convinced that the HP34401a is one of the best DMM out there.Thank you for your attention and offers!so I am selling, due to recent upgrade to my DMM, a beautiful HP 34401A digital multimeter. It is in what I would rate as A-, the bumpers mostly, they have some slight discoloration but otherwise excellent; the meter itself looks brand new, the only cosmetic blemish I can see is a small spot on top of the vinyl covered enclosure. Front panel is pristine, rear also, display looks new, VFD is strong as a new one, see photos they are done in daylight and no photoshop. Passes all self test, nice accurate and reliable. Controls are snappy and crisp. Inside it's brand new, not a speck of dust or anything.Purchased it some time ago from a retired hobbyist that got it new and used it maybe once or twice a month for a few minutes in the weekend, the meter was cherished by its two owners and looking for a good new owner. Please check images!Eta the top image with the spotAsking 350 Euro and delivery all over Europe is going to be about 20 Euro. Will pack it really well. Meter is in Rome, Italy, available for pick up as well.It is really pristine and looking at what is available on the bay, most of them have weak displays or are beat up.Comes with original HP bumpers and handle.

timestamp: July 24, 2020, 03:30:00 pm
content: Hi Everyone - I've got 3 of these so I am going to sell this one. It is a Gen1 Saleae Logic 16 analyzer.I bought a couple of new wiring harnesses for it so the wiring harnesses are new.This is one of my favorite of their units because it is compact, offers 16 channels, uses very little power (<100mA), and always runs cool. I can leave it on a project and not be concerned about the power it is using. It has a true 2.5V and 0.95V thresholds so you can deal with a variety of logic levels. I have fully tested it with my signal generator (because well, I love test equipment and enjoy testing things) and all 16 input pins work at both logic levels perfectly. It is pretty sensitive around 100mV at the 0.95V threshold and 250mV at the 2.5V threshold.It can sample 3 channels at 100 MHz, 6 channels at 50 MHz, 7 channels at 40 MHz, 9 channels at 32 MHz, 12 at 25 MHz, or 16 at 16 MHz.It also interestingly works with all 3 generations of Saleae's software, the original, the 1.x, and the 2.x they are working on.$200 shipped via USPS priority mail, Paypal with a confirmed address.I answer requests in order of PM so send me a PM!
