It is the UK distributor, Julie mentioned the name Art McFall.
Now that I am in France I would prefer have it deliver there but get it deliver at least.

"The UK distributor" could be one of several; check the link I posted for a list.

Personally I'd start with Aspen and go from there.

And congrats to rx8pilot! I did not follow all the twists of the scope month aftermath but apparently it turned out well! That scope is a beast!

There were enough twists/turns/villains/heroes to make a TV movie. Totally wild ride that, somehow, Keysight managed to wrangle with finesse in the end.

I guess we didn't get any software unlocking codes? Not that I am complaining, just asking because some previous winners had had them and to make sure I haven't lost any papers in that confusion (needed to dig some papers from a bin...)

They did not include the software features for the 3000s... unless you picked a lesser scope... and asked nicely.   ;)  I could not get Julie to throw in the LAN adapter, though.

Did you ask them about the software options? Dave, in one of his vids, mentioned that the "crusty old dumpster scopes" he gave away were fully optioned up.

Sorry.  I meant to post when I got it - pics 'n all - but got bogged down with life-y type stuff.

Looks like all available licenses. Nice!! Did it come with the logic probe cables?

Damn. I could have given some bandwidth for the software bits :D Especially as I don't have a signal generator.

Yes, logic probes are provided, and 4x 500MHz passive probes. They are slightly different in 1G model (or the difference is between T and X series, I was comparing to 3054X) but the same bandwidth.

Technically it's there, yes. But the price to get the licence is ridiculous, you could buy a Siglent SDG2042X plus a capable handheld DMM for that  :-DD

Yes, the hardware. Those are the software options you need to pay for. I don't know how much they are. I don't even know what most of those are but I2C/SPI, I2S, WaveGen, and RSxxx would be nice to have.

Yeah, I don't know if many even buy them directly individually like that. You can often get some discount bundles or I'm sure companies who buy 10 scopes can get the ones they need for "free" or good discount.

If you look at the licenses installed on the last picture, not only it has that license but many others :)

The only scope that came, by default, with the full license spread is the 6000 that will [cough] spend its life baby-sitting water heaters.  One would assume, and I guess our friend Carlos could confirm, that one or both of the bonus 6000s are also loaded.  As for the pic above, sorry, I mentioned in a previous post but could have made it clear when I posted the pics... when I chose the lesser scope, I simply asked for the full software package, considering the total is still much less than the original prize.  I am much happier with a fully loaded 200 MHz scope vs. a 1 GHz with no options.

I hope:
A) No one buys it.
B) The warranty is valid only for the winner when it's a "won" piece of equipment
C) All of his power supplies have high ripple.

   If three 100  Ohm resistors are connected in parallel, and in series with a 200 Ohm resistor, how many resistors do you have?

Lol, and he is asking for a full price. Who would buy so expensive piece of equipment from an unknown seller, being unsure about warranty etc.. for the _same_ price you get it from a shop! Even half price can be difficult to get.
