Geezus mate, what are you working on these days to need one of them. I haven’t used one in 15 years.
The only guys that use them here is defence boys working on top secret shit.
Handy bit of gear to at all times

Still fiddling with tachos and speedometers, sig gens and such. But I've forgotten most of what I was taught, so trying to get back in the swing of things. I got sick of the crap Allosun handheld scopemeter as it was like using a pitchfork to eat spaghetti. The price isn't too bad now, as it is all cheap digital screens and stuff.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

That's hard core Craig. I got an old Techtronix CRO in the shed, it's a real antique. Fired it up the other month, it's just about had it.

The bloke at Icon (Jaycar), also still uses an old CRO too. I saw an awful lot of them on Ebay and elsewhere when I was researching units.
As for scopemeters, check out the prices for reconditioned Fluke meters. Bloody ridiculous.
The best features I found on this new scope is the Auto button and a reset default. If you stuff up one of the many settings or need to move on quickly to signals with vastly different parameters it only takes a second to get going.

Well, wonders never cease. Mrs mudsane drove me to Nelson for a bit of a rubber neck. We took the long way home via some tracks in the Lower Glenelg National Park.
She actually got us a little bogged. I had to lock in the hubs and coach her how to get out.

Haha, I wish I could convince my wife to actually drive mine.

I'll take what I can get. I am still unable to drive, so Mrs mudsane has resigned herself to being my chauffeur. On the plus side for her, is the wildlife we saw: wallabies, roos, echidnas, lizards and a multitude of birds.

Using my stubby and my GU oudoors for the first time! Nothing fancy, just dirt roads and some shallow river crossings but what a nice Saturday!
