When I grow up I want to be a EE just like you.I have built a frequency generator,but I can't measure the frequency because I can't afford to buy a oscilloscope.I have been dreaming of owning a oscilloscope for about 3 years.I have been trying to safe up the money to buy one,but it seems like it will take forever.My lab is in my small bedroom closet. The only lab equipment I have is a cheap multimeter and power supply.I have made quite a bit of projects including a tesla coil,flashlight,radio receiver,and some other things. I would really really appreciate if you would donate it to me,and I would take excellent care of it.This is my video which is a tour of my lab thank youhttps://youtu.be/f_UOSnlcwPsSent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One of the things that makes me stand out from many collectors and tinkerers alike is that I have Autism, High Functioning Autism though, but It none the-less had an effect on my learning. It made me take apart stuff and well basically it made me figure out how everything everywhere worked because I looked everything up and researched the H3LL out of it when I found something interesting. Enugh waffleing! Where's my soldering iron!

I would love to make use of the oscilloscope in trying to start up a business designing electronic components for the automotive aftermarket. I am close to releasing my first product on my website (DJTuning.com) that uses the common esp8266 and atmega328p. A working oscilliscope would have been an immense help when setting up the timings on my custom communication protocol between the esp8266 and atmega328p. I am working on building a car from scratch and an oscilloscope would really help me out on building all of the electronics for it. (I plan on making every electronic system myself). Also my birthday was yesterday so this would be a great birthday gift.Thankyou for considering me for the give away,Daniel Johnson

I'm trying to learn electronics, along with get my kids into the hobby.The scope would fill a void, by providing the missing tool I need to continue moving forward with circuit design and further understanding wave forms. I'm currently stuck with building my 10a power supply, there is to much noise and I cant pin point it. Im also learning electronics repair and diagnostic.Again thank you for so much knowledge and information have a good day.My video:https://youtu.be/mNRTCp2uojQ

I am currently not working as I am a full-time carer for my partner who is unwell. This means on a very tight budget and would love to get some gear to full my lab. The only test equipment I currently have is a home made DDS Function generator a assortment of DMM's including some old analogue vintage gear. I am also currently building my own lab power supply. I would love any gear you can through my way. I am getting more into digital electronics now and Arduino projects. I have been wanting to get a decent scope for some years now, but never had the money for it. This would really help a lot with my current and future projects.https://youtu.be/J02WoGEba6oCode:<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J02WoGEba6o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I have gathered parts from various dumpster dives, taking apart old printers and paper shredders, along with some ordered parts. The last bit that I have to figure out is the spindle motor, an AC induction motor. I have no oscilloscopes to use in order to create or modify a controller for this motor, so this raffle is perfect for this project. Thank you for your consideration, and have a wonderful day!https://youtu.be/QnhJxm3I-Gg

What I couldn't mention in the video due to time constraints is that I am saving money currently to start a pretty ambitious project. I am going to try build my own quad copter from scratch using the arduino platform and various sensors. Anyway in the video I show how I've been studying for exams using the arduino as a cheap and terrible O'scope and how I could use one if given the opportunity anyway if I lose the competition I guess it's because I'm from Queensland and you know we are about to beat you in the state of origin(At time of posting the decider match hasn't been played yet)https://youtu.be/Ej_JIW3E7Zw

Going to school for Electrical and Computer Engineering, I have recently taken up some payload FPGA HDL design work for our physics department at WVU.I believe I could make great use of the RTB2004 and its mixed domain abilities in the upcoming projects I have! It would be an awesome scope for me to pursue FPGA and DSP development outside of work and school and start having more fun...Some other sound and DSP work that I do for fun on the side,https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAP8yOCg-BtZ7FfrASh_J-fpkGAjsy_UjThank you for your Generosity and Consideration!-Matt

content: Hi Dave and Dave 2 !Here is my quick video. (UPDATE: I have just edited my video and added a bit on the end to show a few examples of what I do to fill up the spare time).I would like this scope for testing, repairs and comparisons for use on my own electronics based channel, to allow me better and more detailed testing options along with higher resolution, my current MSO scope is only a 100MHz, the extra bandwidth would be helpful!I do a lot of electronics repairs in my videos, sometimes using the MSO functions, but sometimes I am limited by my scopes bandwidth and feature set, or the number of logic analyser channels. Having more testing options will allow me to go into more detail in some of my videos, which should in turn benefit the people that watch me doing this stuff. I actually purchase items especially to do repair videos on them!I have so many projects completed (hundreds of them), or in progress (feels like hundreds of them), just look at my video back catalogue.Thanks for the opportunity !(updated video, Rev 2.0)

I made this video to show my test equipment, including my 50Mghz scope, and i could use your nice giveaway scope in my home lab for troubleshooting the laptops digital pcb's, chasing for faulty signals (going to rabbit hole with proper guns) in an eficient way using all of those 4 inputs and the use of logic analyzer which for debuging it's one of the most requested tasks . An oscilloscope would really help with my projects but i don't have the tools to rich those high speds measurments ,im using PIC microcontrolers and need the check signals at the outputs of it to make sure it does what it's designed to do .I do reverse engenering for many electronic devices and most of the time a fine scope like Rohde & Schwarz RTB2004 with put me in a 7th haven on haking the devices , especialy this day the manufacturer doesn't release the schematics.Cheers Dave,Dave II !Best luck to everyone !Please check my videohttps://youtu.be/1CEw_vxSXgU

content: Hi Dave and David,My name is Devin Black. I am 16 years old and live in California and love electronics and engineering and plan to study it when I go to college in a year or so. In my video I show you a quick tour of my workbench and show my current oscilloscope. It is a EICO model 460 which I got for insanely cheap on craigslist because it's more than 50 years old. It is an analog tube scope and it's not the best for detailed probing, which is why I am entering this contest. I work 2 jobs and have been trying to save up for even a really cheap digital one for a few years now, but with college around the corner and needing a car I haven't been able to get one. This is an awesome opportunity and I thank you for reviewing my entry.Devin Blackhttps://youtu.be/SS7Y9QgKA1o

content: Hi Dave & Dave2,My name is Ashok, a newbie on this forum and hail from Bengaluru, India. I am into electronics since I was 15yrs old. I began with learning analog electronics via vocational course for repairing TV, music systems, etc and later computers, digital electronics and computer networking. I still remember opening up a sanyo 2-way cassette walkman of my uncle and he going furious seeing me do that without his approval, later I fixed it back and all ended well. Infact he gifted it to me and I still have itI was creative and over active since my childhood and my dad used to enroll me into various activities such as electronics, aeromodelling, music, roller skating, cycling etc and it was really wonderful of him to do that. I miss him!Sorry to mix up my intro also in this post as it is my first post in this forum. I found out this forum when I was seeking help to make my 4-button multi-chemistry battery charger (used in RC crafts) USB capable. I wanted to test & used old recycled/reused laptop batteries (18650's) for my further experiments with power storage, intending to be used in UPS, EV's etc. I found our your forum EEV, initially I thought it was an Electric Vehicle blog, but when I browsed in I found it was from your youtube channel that I follow. Got myself registered and found that you had a giveaway of an wonderful oscilloscope, so thought I would give my try to have it on my workspace. Fingers crossed!I am an electronics & telecommunication student, yes an elderly student and it is a cheaper course to enroll as it is a distance education and I didn't have to shell out huge bucks for enrolling and pursuing it. As a tinkerer of electronics and tech, I do make a living installing electronic safety, security systems and solar systems (PV). I happen to own a tiny/micro commercial vehicle that runs on diesel, which is slow and expensive to run and maintain. My first choice and thought was to convert into an electric vehicle using my knowledge in electronics & RC flying. All modern aeromodels & drones (as we commonly call it these days) are powered with powerful (yet potentially dangerous) lithium batteries, with electronic speedcontrollers for the BLDC motors that runs a propeller or a turbine. Making it on a larger scale is tedious, expensive, but would be worthy in the long run.My life was turning boring with the regular routine work, and a challenge as this was enough me to accept it and then the journey began to collect all the information from the internet and outernet. My biggest hurdle is my own principles, to preserve or minimize the damage to the environment in the process of doing it just living my life. So the recycling of lithium batteries, or any batteries for that matter was my first priority, but to understand I had to start working on it. So I got a few scrapped laptop batteries and opened them to retrieve the cells that could probably be re-used in my project. To have a oscilloscope might sound too far from my requirement, but without one I have stumbled and given up many times of such challenges. So with or without this giveaway, I need to get hold of one to start with, as I will have design my own bldc motor controllers, battery chargers to make it economically viable and scalable in the future if there is a good market for it.Well I can go on and on, but let me preserve my time and yours so we can do more and talk only that is necessary.Thank again for the opportunity, and let the deserved win it!https://youtu.be/MYRsmP5Nb5s

content: Hello All,I will update this posting monday, with a 2 minute video showing the project I'm currently working on with my roommate and why we really need this scope! My roommate and I are 27-26 respectively, we met working at Tesla motors working on Model X and me mostly Model 3, a soon to be amazing car! We applied in our spare time for a NSF grant regarding V2X communication and where award a NSF SBIR grant to study vehicle to infrastructure. We have almost finished the grant and will be published a few paper on our findings and why we believe that AV will make the need for DSRC radios on vehicles unnecessary. We have been renting a Agilent scope for $390 per month because we are unable to afford a scope at the time and returned it yesterday because we are running low on funds. We are looking to take our technology to market in the next 4-5 months and will be needing to buy a scope, we recently demod this exact Rode and Schwarz scope also picked up by a sales rep yesterday. We are looking to spend about $6000 in the next month on this very scope, and because we are currently book strapping this is a very difficult purchase. I will not be home until Monday, but expect a nice video to showing the two PCBA we have developed for IOT and V2X solutions. I'm a recent graduate with a degrees in electrical engineering and computer science, we are looking to take the information we are collecting with V2I and create the most accurate and detailed model to optimize traffic flow.Check out or company atwww.SinWaves.comBest, Nicholas Johnson

content: Hello Dave,I would very much like this scope, and without question believe I'm the best candidate for receiving such a great instrument! I won't be redundant to the below video, so let me add some more great reasons why I need this scope. I left Tesla motors making the best electric cars to solve a more difficult problem and have been bootstrapping and struggling like crazy to get boards working with minimal instruments. We use a USB scope and rent scopes when they are needed. I'm not just a hobbiest, electrical engineering is my life, and I have wanted a great scope for a long time, the cost has just been an inhibiting factor.I have been doing the circuit design and PCB layout for the company and have used scoped at all my jobs working on real products that ship to real people, to I hope make their lives better. It sounds cliché, but my favorite part of engineering anything is struggling through all the little problems that go into making a product that I hope will make someone's life better. When I was in college I could use the lab anytime after begging the dean to grant me 24 hr access to labs, I then worked at a small electrical engineering firm of 4 EE's who make products for people all over the world, where I had keys to use the equipment anytime. At Tesla it was the same story, it has only been the last 6 months working for my own company that my access to great equipment has stopped.To learn more about my current project check us out atwww.SinWaves.com. We have been working hard with any tools we can afford, and I'm not going to lie have had to pray things work as the simulations, because we have been unable to really test everything. This scope would save us a large sum of money right now, and help use focus on the products. We are working under a NSF grant and can't buy any test equipment with the grant money, so we have been renting as needed, batching test to make the most of the equipment, we realize this is not sustainable.I plead to you that you pick mw, as you seem to have so much test equipment and we have so little, you would be helping two budding engineers grow or lab, and as we grow help others we hire, you would be giving this scope to a group not an individual, and helping create products that are more than just hobbyist projects but dreams. We look to solve real world problems using software and technology and have been saving to buy a scope, but if we can use that money of a PCBA run or manufacturing it would be all the better! I won't say that others don't need the scope, but few need the scope as bad as us! Thank you for reading my rant and I hope to see you email saying we have the right vibe. Please help grow our prototype lab and make our dream of building a company from our garage in silicon valley a reality.https://youtu.be/H7TUbenB6pkBest,Nicholas

Most of the electronics have been made with analogue circuitry with opamps, tubes, transistors, class AB or H amplifiers, linear power supplies... These days most of the devices I have repaired have digital parts - a switching power supply, DSPs, USB capabilities etc..I trust to my intuition and experience to fix them. With up to 30Mhz scope I'm blind in this digital world. So a modern digital scope is a must be on the bench. If I win it I will use it almost every day for my work.Good luck everyone and thanks for the giveawayEDIT:This is the website with the devices I makehttp://n-audio.net/

In desperation, I did one tried once to utilize cheap DSO138 Oscilloscope kit, but it didn’t work well and I couldn’t figure out what’s wrong. Finally, I made an Arduino-based Poor man’s oscilloscope which has very limited functionality. Basically, It’s a portable oscilloscope powered by arduino uno with a touch screen, a built-in Li-Pol cell, a Li-Pol charger circuit, a voltage booster and a voltage divider module which allows me to measure up to 25 volts of DC input as opposed to traditional 5 volt limit in most Arduinos. However, anything above 1 KHz signal it’s very difficult and virtually impossible to measure with any clarity and precision. I was planning to make a gadget (in a crude terms) which would read a sensor measurement (e.g. CO2 gas level) from a cell culture and feed-in appropriate pulse of square wave signal as output and study the effect of the Pulse on cell growth by later measuring viability. However, I am quite stuck in my project as I do not have Oscilloscope (or funding to buy one) to measure quality of my output signal so I cannot adjust my signal as well. I do plan to use amplifier ICs/circuit to amplify output pulse strength on the output once I have oscilloscope. In Thailand, we don’t even have eBAY so that I could not buy a cheap second hand Oscilloscope as well.========Here’s a quick 2 min Video I made: (Main Video for the GIVEAWAY)Youtube link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDLq8SHWdRQ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDLq8SHWdRQ(Sorry that I had to speak fast to limit video within 2 min and the quality of video is not very good)I do had attached few pictures of my oscilloscope and prototype gadget too. please check it out======As you calmed, EEVBLOG is for anyone from a Professional in electronics to a Hobbyist like me, I hope I do have a chance to make my dream come true by winning this GIVEAWAY…Honestly, it means a lot to me.Even though, I lack any funding and I am struggling myself for a living, I do love to contribute something to the internet and to others like me. In this quest, I do have barely managed to register myself in Google Play Store and made Software related to Graphs, Waves and also a crude Arbitrary Sine wave Generator for Android Mobile devices. I have given it for FREE (Absolutely NO adds, NO any in-apps purchases) to everyone. I did manage to check the quality of my software output tone/wave on few devices but It would be nice if I had my own nice oscilloscope to check the arbitrary waveform. I would gladly make more advance and accurate software (freeware)in future if I had access to my own Oscilloscope. Hence, in this context, your Giveaway would be a great asset for me.Here is the youtube link of my crude Arbitrary Signal generator App========VIDEO LINK ( extra video regarding the software, optional )Link:MX Arbitrary Wave Generator (Google Play store)Google Play store App link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MXArbigen.www&hl=enI do had attached a picture of my app screenshot too. please check it out========In addition, I have also acknowledged you (with all your web links) and others as my inspiration for my arbitrary waveform software development.Dear Dave, I am willing to accept all your terms and conditions for the GIVEAWAY, and I recently came to know that there is no any restriction on the import of the parcel (including Oscilloscope) from Australia to Thailand.Hope, you take interest on my sincere and honest request.Thank you Dave & EEVBLOG community.(^___^)

Long time subscriber, thanks for your great videos!Here in CrAO i'm developing many of hardware and software projects for real science and my own amateur projects.Sorry for video length, it little bit longer than 2 minutes. Really i shot a lot videos and tried to put this in your limits withot loosing details...So, this video is about 3 meter amateur radiotelescope. This device developing for hydrogen line observation, known objects monitoring and new sources detection. Additionally i've tried to combine main receiver with a 10-12 Ghz LNB. This is pure experimental construction.Unfortunately my lab doesn't have required or very good instruments for developing such complex projects. So some parts is just calculated and tested on the antenna without any laboratory tests.And i'm only one sw and hw developer on this projects. I have an colleague and friend who helps me with materials and mechanics. Our finances is very limited so we unable to get modern tools.Of course your scope will be a good addition in this (and future) work.This projects is fully open and i will publish all the source codes and schematics on github.Anyway if i don't win i just happy to announce this project and open to any advices and questions.

In times where people like me struggle to find any consistent work in the science technology field where the market is now dominated by Oil and Gas (certainly here in Australia), independent inventive development and/or repair work is the only option presently available. The potential to acquire this Rohde & Schwarz RTB2004 oscillscope would mean a dramatic improvement in embedded prototype design (e.g. Mem, CPLDs & FPGAs) and testing compared to the limited resources that I have available. Most of all it would be something NEW that would further inspire both curiosity and inventiveness!In ending I find your blogs very useful and interesting! I really envy the variety of test equipment that you have reviewed in the test measurement setup and needless to say other useless tips!https://youtu.be/uKegqvtU7Oc

I also really enjoy the discussions you and Chris have on the amphour. I'm a Ham licensed as an extra (Highest class in the U.S). I show a couple of my projects and radios I've built in the video, and my current (15mhz) oscilloscope whose capabilities I have saturated with my RF projects. Also having a logic analyzer would be very useful.I enjoy building minimalist qrp (Low power) radios, building weird and wonderful antennas, and playing with digital logic circuits. Currently I'm not even able to view my hf rig's IF signal as my scope is too low bandwidth. Right now I am reading through the Art of Electronics, and Learning the art of electronics. Currently, all my homemade transceivers work in the HF spectrum, but I am in the design stages of building a homemade 6m ssb rig, as I have no low vhf capabilities right now.My HF radio is quite old (Works great though!), but thankfully the designers left a acc port that allows you to control the vfo, transmit/receive, and a few other things, via a parrallel interface. Most modern radios allow a computer to control them over the 'cat' interface. In order to ease the use of digital modes, I'm am planning a 'cat' to my radio's parallel interface adapter.Thanks for running this, Dave!edit: forgot to link in my website:lukascrockett.com

content: Hello Dave and Dave2My name is Florian, i'm 15 Years old and i am from Germany.Electronics are, together with programming my biggest hobbys and i got early into it because my dad is an electrician. He showed my the basics of Electronics by connecting components together with aligator clips to create basic circuits like a simple blinking circuit or he showed me how a SCR works. I was still in kindergarden when i received my first electronics kit, a basic construction kit with resistors, caps, switches... which are mounted on plastic strips that can be connected together using press-studs.In primary school, as a easter gift i received my first real, so called "Franzis" electronicy kit, a kit about experiments with low-power lasers. Those kits basically contain a breadboard, components and a book about the basics of electronics and the topic. I got "a few" more of those kits over the years, and this is how i basically learnt a lot of things about electronics. In 3rd grade for example, i built an 2-Digit 7-Segment counter with blinking overflow detection from jellybean logic on a breadboard. In the Age of ten i got another Franzis kit, but this time with an Arduino in it, so you can say i can program arduinos for 5 years.My entry:https://youtu.be/soD3hYqHdcMPS: I had a lot of more footage to show, was quite difficult to get it all in a 2-Minute Video. I completely left out any old projects of mine and only showed one recent project, an other one is an high-speed photography flash, but i didn't put any footage about it in the video. This was another project i wanted to show where a better scope would help, but there was no time left in the vid. Also i commented the scenes where i used my scope but again, there was no time left.You are allowed to win things in germany if you are are 14 or older, and i am 15, so: no problem. I would also pay the taxes for sending it to germany.Auf wiedersehen! (That means "Good Bye".)Contact me over: florian.dassler@outlook.de

I was also interested in programming. I started watching EEVblog and I so much like your mailbag videos.I have built robots, games on 2x16 screen and things like that. Then i get wifi-module and made something like smart home with turning leds on, temperature, clock, timer etc. Then I have started to learn clean C for microcontrollers. I wanted to have an oscilloscope to better understand what is happening in my circuts, but I did not have money. So I made my oscilloscope from Arduino and Processing. It was not precise, slow and had range up to 5 voltsWithout oscilloscope it's hard to me to understand how FM, AM, coils, AC and curcuits work. I would be very happy if I had won that deviceFirst i recorded video of 10 minutes length because i have so many things to show You.Here is link:

The same architecture (fast comparators driving diode bridges) can be used for a bandwidth of several GHz and 10Gs/s or more.Thank you for your contribution to the electronics community.

content: Hey Dave,Here is my entry for the Scope giveaway. The time on the video thumbnail says 2:01 but when you play it, it is 2:00 flat and should live by the rules of the contest. I hope you enjoy. The remaining text below is not intended to be part of the judging info but to clear up some choices for those that are curious.Some may be confused as to why I’m using ethernet in my designs due to higher latencies and non-deterministic behavior. I went with this technology because knowledge on the internet seemed to be more approachable than a fabric like Infiniband and learning how to use sockets in C was surprisingly straight forward. As far as addressing other latency and non-deterministic performance issues I will quickly mention that I am using only point to point systems for the actual link controllers as well as UDP in the hopes of alleviating just such fears. Finally, this is all just for fun so if I don’t get ideal performance with ethernet I can try something new next go around! I will have learned a lot from this experience by then too.Mezz

Unfortunately this year when Keysight was doing their "Scope month" I was not able to win I did however enter everyday not knowing that because I live in Florida I could not win a FREE SCOPE , so maybe thing's will turn around for me . I do however have a scope if you want to call it that , I made it from a cheap Chinese kit and you think your scope is crusty I have the flagship of CRUSTY SCOPES a genuine DSO138 2.4 TFT Digital Oscilloscope Kit DIY . After buying one kit and it did not work I bought a assembled kit that did not work so I returned it and ordered a third one ( I still had the first kit ) the third one was a fail so with 2 kits I made one that worked , it was the switch's I think that they are the finest switches on the planet HA HA ! ( same with my scope ) Lately I have stopped building " Joule thief's " and have been working on a CFL light that will run under 1 volt , I have got one to run off of 1.2 volts and have not given up after 4 months using scrap parts out main distributor ( Radio Shack ) has gone out of business so I have turned into a cannibal 24 / 7 running adds for broken electronics to the point "The Men In Black " showed up at my door on 9 / 9 / 2016 wanting to know what I was building , no joke , I was pulled over the next day by most of our local police for the same reason . A real scope will change my life and I can use it to trouble shoot the junk kit's I keep buying from China and start really inventing some cool stuff I have a lot of ideas , but one major thing is holding me back can you guess what that is ? I 'am disabled but not looking for a pity party just a working scope . If I get one I will cherish it and as my first born I will name it Dave the master of electrons , I will have that professionally engraved on its face plate . Well I'am done ranting but keep me in mind , I will use this scope everyday even if my wife gets a little mad for me zoning out on her watching waveform's . Now I will try and post part of the video I made , my camera was not running when I started showing off my toys I made but caught this around half way through . Thanks for the great videos I enjoy them so much especially mail bag when you do the tear downs , my favorite video to this day was when you took the Keysight multi meter and gave it a stress test taking it on a real "Road trip" 88 KMH and then at the end tossing it off the dam , I don't know why I loved that video so much maybe it is some deep seated resentment towards Keysight for excluding Florida from their contest , HE HE HE ! I have that bookmarked for when I'am feeling a little down . Looking forward to more videos I really do enjoy them , Oh I was the person that called out Keysight for the probe artifact tapping the BNC connector after watching your post EEVblog #14 - An unusual oscilloscope phenomenon! then EEVblog #20 going on to EEVblog #21I brought this up live while Daniel was praising their new scopes and had him do the BNC tap test he was flustered and because I could not win after entering for a month straight everyday I was falling off my chair , thanks for making my day , they did say that they would get back with me but the never did . I wonder why ? Thanks for all that I have learned from your videos and I hope I have a chance of going from REAL CRUSTY TO A FERRARI . You have a great day in upside down land Australia not Austria ! ! !

content: Hello Dave,My name is Bart, I am a hamradio from the netherlands for over 35 years.my video :https://youtu.be/r5WVJLd-FXEI create a lot of things over the years and started using microcontrollers and designing things around it about 5-6 years ago.Eevblog and a lot of other stuff on the internet gives me a lot of nice ideas to work on.I do not rebuild or copy existing designs, nor do i use prebuild stuff like arduino shields, i develop my own solutions to a problem.Designing PCB's using Eagle (dabbling with Kicad at the moment) i still etch my pcb's at home using the Tonertransfer method which i pefected.Single and Double sided is no problem, even using small SMD components like FT232 is possible. I have given several 'hands-on' presentations on it like here :http://www.pi4vlb.nl/2015/06/printen-maken-volgens-de-toner-transfer-methode-door-bart-pa2bv/nggallery/thumbnailsIn my video i show you a few things i made.The radio is special to me, as it was a build for my late mother, she didn't understand modern radios any more, as the only knob on them nowadays is 'volume', the rest s via pushbuttons and menu's. So i created a radio with just a volume and a station knob. All the local cableradio stations are preprogrammed. Pushing the knobs (encoders) you still can set audio, time, display etc.It's actually using 2 Atmega328p's, one for the display, receiving commands via i2c and using 'stylesheets' to display data send by the other one controlling the tuner and audio components.She sadly died a while ago, and i'm working on converting it to a DAB radio.The GPSDO's are two different approaches, one with a PLL chip, which is build by several HAM's already, the other one is an approach to create more long term stability. I started it using standard ttl logic, but the goal is to redesing it using a small fpga or cpld.New projects in a design and prebuild-fase (i search on hamfests etc for components) are a Universal Multi-input DC to 3GHz power meter to display output power and SWR. It will accept all kinds of powercouplers and heads, and can be calibrated over a large range of frequencies and power ranging from microwatts to kilowats.There is also a dual (or tri-) band (2m/70cm/23cm) transceiver in the making, but the difference with available quipment i that the transceiver has no knobs/dials/display. Everything will be done via a small battery operated remote control box via bleutooth, and audio is also going over bleutooth using regular mobile devices.Also a 1.3GHz and 2.3GHz preamplifier are in the collecting parts fase, as a 13cm power amp, and an ATV transmitter.So you see, ideas and projects enough, and the reason of entering the contest is that my 2-channel rigol is too small for the job. I tried to get my hands on one of the special offer RTB's, but in europe it was not a public offering. Buying one is not an option, it is just too expensive.Thanks for your time, and i will follow your blog for as long as i can.Regards,Bart
