Looking at hobby-level signal generators in the FY6800 or PSG9080 range. Two years ago they were <$100–130. Now more like $200–250!
Every time I go down one of those rabbit holes it's always "but for $100 more..." and before you know it I'm looking at Siglents or old HP stuff that won't fit on my bench.
I really wanted ~$130 worth, and knew there are user hacks to fix some cut corners in the FY6800, but it seems crazy to pay that much for them. Argh.

I’ve come to the realization that working with electronics is as good as the test equipment you have to verify it 😅
On that note: does anyone have good recommendations for a simple LCR meter that’s affordable for the average ham? My multi meter can only do R and maybe large C but no L.

I need assistance on this one. I was gifted a bunch of electronics surplus today. One of the things in the collection was this analog meter. My question: What would you use this meter to measure ? It has a very odd scale to me. #electronics #testequipment #hamradio

Electronics Hobbyist poll (or personal home labs)
Most of my modern gear I connect to via ethernet (maybe USB). Trying to gauge how popular GPIB still is in the hobbyist/home space. Please feel free to boost to help get more responses.

Do you use GPIB in your personal home -lab?
Is 81.5uHz (microHertz) accurate enough? Not sure? #time #GPSDO #reference #lab #electronics #testequipment
