I realize that this e-mail is somewhat off topic, however, I also believe that I will get some of the best answers from the members of this list:
I have recently started to build an electronics lab, and am currently trying to acquire test and general equipment for my little basement workshop of horrors. So far, being on a limited budget, I have acquired a Tek 2465A in good working order, a Fluke 1953A counter, and my little gem (ok not quite so little) HP5345A with the 4-ghz freq converter plugin w/ opt 11 & 12. I'd just like to ask everyone what they would be, if they were in my shoes, attempting to acquire. Unforunately, however, I am just out of engineering school and not working with much of a budget here. I'd kill to have all the fancy gear some of you nuts have. I'd really love a DSO instead of the Tek 2465A I have. I'd kill for a good spectrum analyzer or VNA etc. Any suggestions on what I should acquire and/or suggestions for economical equipment that I should make that is a must have? I am a good DIYer when it comes to building equipment, so often I attempt to build that which I cannot afford. I appreciate everyone's' opinions in advance. Thank you. Sincerely, John Foege KB1FSX starving-engineer! _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
