If you want to encourage open exchange of ideas & member support I guess we need to do more of it on this list. Yes I've salivated over the Fluke 9010s and wanted one for years but I've yet to fork out the $ required to own one. I've been trying to learn about the PICs. Seems like there is a big effort to produce hobbiest style troubleshooting tools that are pretty powerful. There is a Cap tester project and a frequency counter, with free plans & source code available on the net as well as other projects such as a digital workbench (power supply, signal generator, Digital Storage scope etc..) I'm currently working on the frequency counter & hope to report back my success or failure soon. Kev
I'm not picking up any harsh resentment from others, just a feeling of dismay. It's too bad that this "collection of pods" (5, 15, 50?) isn't spread
around
the list members. It also means that they are in the hands of the high bidders and, because they were so dearly bought, likely won't come back on the market. Dismaying.
That's all I have to say on this. You're a businessman, I don't think your
feelings will be hurt. I'm a hobbyist, I'll keep pegging away in my little basement workshop and scrounging for the deals.
