content: ONCE ONLY.My sob story is that I am jealous of your EDC standard, so I went to search for one. I found a Valhalla 2701C-LNF "for repair" on fleabay instead.Schematics for the 2701C exist, but not for the "low noise floor" variant (manufacture is still around but doesn't have schematics for LNF either). Since I'm a complete noob, repairing this is a continuing effort....More change spent in parts than I care to admit later and I'm no closer to a working DC standard and just reminded that I'm jealous of your lab.So... share some of your lab with this noob!-j

content: Count me in Dave, I would like another scope for my channel, always good to have alternatives to use for situations when one scope isnt enough, its for the YouTube public good.For a sob story, how about my entire house, garage etc being flooded by sea water in a storm on 5th January, you can see this on my YT channel, 2 months later the house hasn’t been touched yet, it’s uninhabitable, waiting for insurance to be happy with a builder quote.AND to top it off a few weeks ago (whilst we are living in a garage which is still damaged), my wife broke her ankle, and has to hobble around on crutches on gravel and in the garage, where whatever was salvageable after the flood is crammed in, leaving little room to move about.In spite of this rather hectic time, I am still making videos for my YT channel, not as many as I was prior to the flood, but I’m still managing a couple a week.Really the flood was a bit of a ying and yang balance, I had the high from you featuring me in your guest videos, followed within days by the massive low of having my house flooded and losing 3/4 of our belongings.

I am working on a new design for the USB Tester and the OLED backpack which provides a display for voltage and current without needing your own DMM and can data log. I have been a big fan of EEVBlog and learned so much from Dave over the years. This giveaway would be the missing piece to my workbench. Even though I am self thought I was able to learn enough to design a product that I sell on Tindie. This includes learning best practices and such. You can really learn a lot of Dave's teardowns!.Thanks again for another year and my the odds ever be in your favor.

Having my own, capable scope would be great.Thank you for all your videosDaneAttached: a picture of my setup 😓

I'm still using this TDS220 as my goto standard for everyday use because of its simplicity and ease to use, but I'd like to replace it with a modern one. And I really don't want to replace it with one of these Chinese brand (Siglent, Rigol whatever) ones, because I don't like their design. And I'm keen on the internal function gen, in combination with the bode plot facility to run some tests on circuits that I've designed. My employer doesn't want to buy such new toys, so this is the only way for me to try to get my hands on one.

Digital input can be used in serial decode and to probe digital signal, it can trigger, etc etc. It is a nice feature not available on any 2-channel entry level scope.I hacked my EDUX1002G to DSOX1102G so I would like to compare performance of hacked vs unhacked scope. I am also pushing the hacked EDUX1102G to 200MHz and beyond and the original DSOX1102G can be an excellent addition to my hacking bench. As officially my unit is an EDUX1000 scope, I cannot request trial CAN and LIN serial decode options.Contributed to the 1000X hacking thread:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-978-keysight-1000x-hacking/

Electronics is my hobby for only last couple of years, and I really love to investigate this exciting world.At the moment I am working on my first big (for me) project. This should be a "smart dummy load" for testing (diagnostics) ATX power supplies with MCU controlled changable loads for every power line, temperature controled fan, screen with info about all lines, blown fuse indication and other stuff I can manage with. This project is a challenge to my skills.Oscilloscope should help me a lot with going deeper into electronics, DSO138 does not satisfy my needs anymore.If I could win this scope I'd be sooo happy.P.S. Good news! This giveaway pushed me to finally register!

content: Hi Dave. Remember me? I suggested the "reply" button on every post.Anyway, I'm a self-taught tinkerer, working on a camper van with an auxiliary power system (solar+batteries+inverter). I'm going to have a digital monitoring system with various sensors and touchscreens to graph data. There will also be a CAN bus interface to tap into vehicle telemetry. I am documenting all my findings, to share with others on the internet in the open source spirit. I've been using an ancient single channel CRO. I could really use a more modern scope with better bandwidth, another channel and some digital functions, but it's currently out of my reach. Please consider me in your giveaway. Cheers.

I'm working on a Bio-Impedance measurement frontend(interesting stuff actually).That's my first time I've seriously tackled analog electronics.(usually doing PCB design of digital circuitry).I would love to validate and modify my project from home, rather than hassling around different buildings in the university(time consuming)and having my own oscilloscope at home would help me a lot to finally finish this frikin project... aaand effectively experiment with other ideas.enough of sobbing, gonna go and check out Wave18. (Aaah, Estonia is Not in the list! Crap)must... assemble.... my.... home... lab. And oscilloscope is one of the hardest things to acquire.

content: Alas <50 posts. Not sure if still eligible to be considered for the warm fuzzy/sob story prize.My story: Always been interested in taking things apart, fixing/hacking them, engineering & physics etc. Had to abandon school prematurely at 15 after a lifetime of poor health (still 'waiting' for a proper diagnosis), no great loss - the promised electronics & pneumatics never materialised. 24 years later, I'm always looking for things to occupy my time that are compatible with limited & rapidly declining physical & cognitive abilities. Last year I discovered EEVBlog and immediately became hooked. Rekindled a lifelong interest in electronics. Vowed to fix a bricked router & succeeded.Funny story: While fixing the aforementioned router, arm holding the soldering iron was afflicted by a muscle spasm which resulted in the other hand being stabbed with a very hot soldering iron. Naturally its reflex action was to recoil away from the unwelcome thermal stimulation. Unfortunately it was holding a pair of very sharp needle-pointed tweezers, which stabbed me in the abdomen.Newton's third law in action? Murphy's?Viva le EEVBlog!

content: Dave, Here's hoping you read through every single sob story, and if you do, you are a greater man than most. Also, I realize I don't have more than 50 posts as of the time of this posting, but I joined with the sole intention of becoming part of this great community. Soon enough that post count will climb, and with it my knowledge will grow. So I hope you don't mind that my post count is a bit low.To start things off, a story, of 2 year old me. When I was a young lad I too had an odd knack for taking things apart and seeing what made them tick. My mother swears to this day that when I was 2, I took apart an old toy radio of mine that didn't work, did something inside, put it back together and whala it started working again. Whether or not it's true is solely on her, as I don't really remember that. What I do remember is an old Electric Organ my father brought home one day that he found in the trash. Needless to say it was in the trash for a reason, it didn't work. At the time I had to be 4 or 5 years old. I just know I wasn't in school yet. My mother wanted to get rid of the old thing since it didn't work, and I wanted to tinker around in the back of it. So she said why not, and let me do it. Figuring I'd break it more and we'd have to throw it out. I think there may have been some wires that were loose back there or something, I don't remember what I did, but I told my mother that it was fixed, and she wanted to wait till my father got home to plug it in. He did, and sure enough the thing turned on and actually played.Now come to the present and I'm about 30 years old. My whole life I've been tinkering with electronics. Mostly just taking stuff apart to see what was inside, without actually knowing how anything worked. I found myself mostly on the computer Hardware side of things. As repairing computers came naturally. However, computer's don't really challenge me anymore, as for the most part it's all module, and hard to mess up an installation. That's where electrical engineering comes into play. I've always had an interest in it, just never dived right in. Well I'm already off the diving board, I'm setting up a small little lab in the garage and already started working on repairing some of the projects that I've had sitting around for way to long. I even posted about it on the"Whats your Work-Bench/lab look like?"thread. However as you can see I don't have an Oscilloscope, surely this is a great shame.For the time being I can't really afford a digital scope, at least not anything that is reliable. I'm in the process of getting a DSO150 kit from BangGood, whenever that decides to show up and hoping I put it together perfectly, and all the parts come in good shape and it doesn't just fry on me after a week of use.It'll help me diagnose some issues that I'm having with a TI-83+ Calculator I'm trying to repair.Granted it's up to the job, but realistically it's only a temporary solution. Now I'm sure there are tons of people here that would love a new scope to add to their collection, or even upgrade from a scope they currently have, but I need a scope to further my knowledge into the world of Electrical Engineering, as I know this will be the place to challenge my mind, and a place to further my career choices in. I'm definitely going to be doing this for a long long time. Hell I've already been doing it along time, and I don't see that changing any time soon. Some projects that it will come really useful in are in RC, Diagnostics for audio and repairs. I've got several repair projects that I need to diagnose the pwm signal of a mcu. I'm trying to develop my own video camera, and it'll really come in handy with that. There's no short of projects and an oscilloscope would be used regularly.Lastly I'd like to thank Dave himself for hosting such an amazing community, your blogs are wonderful, I find myself up late at night watching them. I've been watching for a while, at least a couple years and don't know why I didn't do it sooner, but recently decided to join up in the community. So thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone, and thank you for having a great giveaway like this!

I was able to borrow an really great HP 54616B and I noticed how bad my scope my really isAlso because ofI tried to pick one up at eBay, but without any success so farI don't like buying cheap, non-reliable equipment and new good equipment is too expensive for me, so I hope I'll get an DSOX1102G

So just a smaller, more portable Scope will make it easier to find place on my bench for when I need it (instead of literally balancing the Beckmann Scope between 2 parts of the bench), and will allow me to go deeper, and really study what is happening with circuits.And hey, if I do not win a scope, how about a consolation prize of a 121GW, or Brymen EEVBlog meter, or anything will be better than the multimeter I have at the moment....

To repair computer we have two old analog oscilloscope, and for now we could not buy a better one. A digital oscilloscope with a function generator it would help us a lot.I put some link about works:About us:https://museo.freaknet.org/en/chisiamo/repair:https://museo.freaknet.org/en/restauro-digital-decwriter-iii/https://museo.freaknet.org/en/restauro-pdp1123plus/https://twitter.com/FreaknetMuseum/status/913078668494327809data recovery :https://hackaday.com/2017/03/03/raiders-of-the-lost-os-reclaiming-a-piece-of-polish-it-history/

content: Here we go, I'd like to be picked at random but I'll try to aim your soul...DIYer for 15+ years, just about to become an EE, just my final project and I have my degree, if all goes well next month. I'm yet to get my first scope and with a few projects on the way is becoming time to get one... Don't cry for me, most of my projects where audio so I got away with my trusty sound card, but it just doesn't cut it any more.Some of the projects! An SPL meter is one of them, few advance on that, all the components for the first prototype on the drawers, PCB designed, need to build one and start serious coding and debugging. An industrial automation system, this one is working for a year on the field, going to be my final project for the degree, fully open source, once finished all will be public for you to do whatever. More will be added to this device so it also will be on my lab needing scoping, and as industry device I use on the field myself, I could end developing quite a few perisphericals. Oh, and coming back to the SPL meter, the idea is to build a flexible measurement instrument on that platform, and I'd like to make it open source as well, at least part of it, as I won't be alone on that one.So, if all this goes well it might end in a lot of projects, one of them is already a good part of my job (the industrial one) and for the other I have good expectatives but, as usual, trying to find time for it, hopefully as I finish the degree I can get to work on it.Regards.BTW, waiting for my 121GW, the BM235 feels alone and is asking for a bigger brother!

I have Narcolepsy(its not exactly like it is in the movies but still sucks balls) so it took a very very long time. Medical advances finally made life manageable enough to let me finish in 2015.(No one appreciates the theme song to Star Trek: Enterprise more than me, lol) Anyhow, I'm still in school, this time learning 3D printing and design. I hope to wrap it all up and make gadgets or something, maybe even a cubesat. I imagine myself maybe teaching to make ends meet, hopefully soon. I really need a modern oscilloscope to make a go at a side bushiness I'm trying to get going repairing electronics. I'm really doing the best I can, I don't have as may hours in the day as most people and worse the hours are rarely consecutive. This scope is just the kind of "ray of sunshine" I could use these days, although "stuffs getting better, stuffs getting better all the time".

For my circumstances of course, I test and repair everything I get my hands on and every idea of a neat and handy device has to become reality on my desk. Unfortunately there are not many students here thinking the same way... i cant't get it but nevermind. As you can guess my equipment really moves at the lowest limit. Regarding something to call scope my pride and joy is one of the famous Toy-Scope JYE Tech DSO138. Far away even from half-serious low-cost equipment but identified not only once the bugs in my projects. So... i can't complain for the money, but I get to know it's limitations every time.I currently have an amp from the 80's and a guitar radio transmitter on the table that need to be repaired. In addition, I am currently doing a feasibility study to see if I can develop my own sensors for a Lego robot. So your good Keysight scope is desperately needed! Without the right equipment working such this out is just annoying and time-consumin. How about an exchange with my JYE Tech DSO138?By the opportunity to get through to you here:I just recently came across your videos on youtube, but man you got me at the first shot. Now i spend maybe 4 hours a day to catch up all the good stuff i missed. Really great work here from you!

Quite the community you've built here!Shameless plug: Yes, my son is a real human being and he would definitely benefit from having a scope at university. If one of those scopes finds its way to my home, it will help launch the education and career of a member of the next generation of Engineers.

content: Hey EEVblogers and Dave!I just found out your video in a dire time of purchasing a oscilloscope, or saving up for one to be more specific. My current situation on my project is limited on the fact that I do not have an oscilloscope. My field mainly specializes in acoustics, resonance and oscillations of many sub-categories of topics, as you can see that the scope you have right there is PERFECT for my current situation I am in, that is a 'function generator' as well as a good amount of Mghz readings.I have many project ideas that I want to do1. that is programming an AI utilizing an Arduino mounted on a drone to control and function with a ultrasonic transducer that is reading its surroundings and moving on its own while avoiding obstacles.2. create a flexible, wireless and modular tank resonance wire design to safely help the reduction of energy loss while transferring energy from point A to point B, this will help society to have a much more efficient wiring systems for energy savings3. currently what I'm focused on going after, that is designing a modular resonance chamber and implement these in various aspects of day to day life technologies pertaining to computational computing and EMF emittancesAs you can see Dave, all of these require obviously an oscilloscope, which I do not have sadly... If I am chosen I'm sure your 'sob story' pick would NOT be gone to waste and be put to good use and would get me off on a great start. I've stated before that I was saving up for an oscilloscope, but with all of these projects it require heavy test equipment and a lot of prototyping, it'd be great if I didn't have to go out and utilize a budget onto a decent oscilloscope to begin with, all thanks to this contest giveaway, and focus more on the test prototypes equipment I want to design.Thank you Dave for this opportunity. Wish everyone good luck!
