content: Quote from: Deathwish on October 16, 2015, 09:39:10 amAFAIK all jitter issues are long sorted, I haven't seen it in the couple of years I've handled Siglent.The UI is such that each channels settings hide the other and you must toggle the UI to see the other channels settings.As far as loosing settings......first I've heard of it.Pretty much all you need to know is in the SDG1000 & SDG800 series thread.The last FW is quite recent, released in July and I'm not aware of any outstanding bugs/issues.Gary, have you been watching the new SDG2000X series developments, they start at 40MHz and according to Dave, worthy of a good look.Rob

content: Sigh, you win rob.I had a lot of luck yesterday, I have been fighting the govt with the help of my nurse etc to get disability payments, I won, so they now pay me an extra £115 per week and I get the higher rate mobility which means I could of used the money to get a car for nothing, I chose to spend it all on electronics kit as I also found out I can get a free bus pass and a blue badge for free parking if a mate takes me out in his car, seemed a logical choice as I never go out anyway !.

content: Quote from: Deathwish on October 16, 2015, 09:39:10 ami bought one a few weeks ago and it's working perfectlythe 1020 seems to be a good buy at the moment, it's not worth going for the 5 or 10mhz modeli am hoping for a hack to bump it to 25 or 50mhz given it's one of the later software upgradable versions. Anyone heard about doing this yet?
