content: I already looked at these machines a couple of times but there are not very useful as a spectrum analyser because (IIRC) their largest span is 10MHz. I expect their prices to drop even further because there are so many on the market.

content: As nctnico says it's not a spectrum analyzer replacement but is very useful in certain measurements.If you are looking very fast signals and need to demodulate them it's a great device.Also I use it very often to generate a trigger when the signals are greater than a specified level and then check for TDMA integrity and so on.But IMHO you should also own a regular spectrum analyzer for RF development.Best,0xfede

content: Hi Everyone,While I know this is going to be quite a big solder for most component level work, I have always found it handy to have some bigger solder lying around on the work bench. I recently got a few boxes of Consolidated Alloys solder, they were on a pallet of excess stock so I am trying to move them on.500 Gram rolls Sn60%, Cu2%, Pb38% 1.25mm Type 35 Resin Core (0.5% Halide).I have them listed elsewhere at $25 / roll plus freight, for forum members I'm happy to do them for $17.50 / roll with cheaper prices for multiple rolls (Plus Freight). Can fit up to 5 rolls and packaging in a 3kg post bag for $15.Local pickup available from the Welshpool / Belmont area (Western Australia), or postage at cost.Attached is a generic data sheet for their solders.http://www.cagroup.com.au/files/cored-solder-wires---tech-data-006821-006818.pdf

Way more built in arb waveforms now than Dave's initial video. Square wave looks a bit un-square above 10MHz or so, but square wave performance certainly wasn't a priority for me. The sine looks great at 80MHz.Thanks!

RS do tend to be a bit pricey. Testtoolshop (or rather their parent company) are listed on the Gossen site so they are official though cheaper than Farnell and RS.

I got it for free here many years ago, but after a wash or two it shrunk beyond what I could wear. It's labeled as a medium but I would call it a men's small or extra small.Free!Next - an AT90USBKEY.$10 + shipping.Next - two Prologix GPIB adapters - one USB, one Ethernet. I don't know how to test these. I think there is a decent chance that one or both are very early versions of these designs, if not prototypes. I connected the USB one to a computer a while ago and was able to update the firmware on it using software downloaded from the Prologix website, but ran out of time and interest after that.$50 for both + shipping. Note that I'm pricing this low as I'm offering no guarantees of anything with them... I just don't have time to deal with it.Next - some fiber diodes of some sort? Dunno, don't need them.Free!Finally - some PSOC adapter board of some sort. No idea what it is, looks like it cost a ton when it was new. Super fancy.Free!For free things - I will give you my e-mail address and you can e-mail me a shipping label. For not free things - you can do the same or I can just add the actual cost of shipping + paypal fees onto what you pay me. Paypal only. For free things I will give preference to established members of the community

I am thinking of making some ornaments out of them so the specific type doesn't really matter that much. Showier pieces are preferred such as image sensors, memories, CPUs etc. Not really interested in just non-etched blank silicon wafers. Don't really care that much about size, all sizes are fine.

Removed from working environment due to faulty main fan, since repaired. The mirror and lens look clean, with very faint scuffing of the mirror that doesn't seem to affect the projected image.This auction is for the projector as shown only. There are no cables, screen remote control or pointer included. The bulb seems bright, but I don't know how many hours it has. In any case, replacement bare bulbs are available on Aliexpress cheaply.The WiFi dongle is included. Also I have the side cover for the cables area if you want it. It's gray colour, not beige. Apparently they all are.Like all short-throw oblique projectors, this requires a completely flat projection screen, or the image will be distorted by screen irregularities. This effect can be seen in the photos, where I'm using an old roller pull-down fabric screen, which isn't flat.Selling cheaply because I have no use for it and don't want to store it. Incidentally I have two more I'll be selling, but one of them is not yet tested.Located in Sth Sydney, Bankstown area. Pickup for cash is OK.

So if you have a A6303 and are in desperate need of a case I will make you a deal $10 plus shipping. If they are not going to be used for an A6303 then I will repurpose them myself.

For this kind of work you don't need super fine bandwidths or extremely low noise levels. The low acoustic noise, small size and relatively low weight make it a good spectrum analyser to use in an office and/or bring it along to a customer.
