@Robbie_W1RCP Cheaper than NJ, but I’m sure more expensive than GA. Average likely around $400k for single family home. Cheaper if you go more rural.

@AlanAtTek Haha. My wife isn’t opposed to moving. But I bet housing is insanely expensive there.

Are you an Extra Class amateur radio operator located near central Connnecticut? Your dream job might be waiting for you….

It's gratifying seeing our legacy scopes out in the field after all these years. We build our scopes to last. #Tektronix

@tektronix Tektronix is the best. Here is a 5103N oscilloscope, still running great after all these years!

I tried measuring 120 dB of attenuation with the R&S ZND VNAs at school and it was disappointing compared to my Copper Mountain Tech. Planar 804/1 VNA 😭😭😭😭

Pro (snow) tip: when holding your gas powered leaf blower over your head to clear the snow off the top of your truck, make sure your hand isn’t in front of the exhaust. 😬

My latest video shows how to use a TinySA Ultra in zero-span mode to measure the keyer speed of a CW (Morse code) transmitter: youtu.be/gaEm8TiRQnQ

Oh hey, maybe this screw lying in the attenuator is the reason channel 1 is flaky when pushing on the BNC.

@galooticus @m_e_frost Definitely agree on checking supplies first. I haven’t worked on any of these scopes, so the Tekscopes group is a good place to start.

@m_e_frost @AlanAtTek Yeah, I hear that. If Alan doesn't know, you might try the Tekscopes email list, which is very helpful on older stuff. TDS series questions aren't as frequent, but new enough that you might get lucky and hear back from someone who worked on it.

Scope decided to lose its mind today. Any ideas @AlanAtTek? I searched and this does not appear to be a common issue. The display glitches are also present on the rear VGA output.

@m_e_frost I haven’t done a video on Z0 probing yet, but definitely worth adding to my list

@AlanAtTek have you done any videos on Z0 probing? I looked at the list and (re-)watched a few videos on probes but didn't find anything, but a web search did surface this post of yours from a while back: eevblog.com/forum/testgear…

@m1geo Thanks George! I was surprised to hear the M1 call! Here’s a pic of where I was (although this pic was a different day). Setup was identical though. KX2, 5W into MP1 vertical.
