i think im saying that in corporate don't let someone tell you what you need because its not enough 90% of the time, they are underestimating your abilities 100% of the time and the budget is not being spent fairly 95% of the time.
Off the cuff crap like digital designers don't need 1 GHz is management rubbish
we got some BS RF tool once to 'determine' something for a report, thankfully I know how to make an weak antenna out of lab supplies connected to the borrowed MDO so we can use calibrated trustworthy equipment then submitting downright BS data generated by some cheap doo-dad that is 'enough for our purposes".
not to mention in any decent lab you get to train people that might leave, at least they get some experience using good equipment that broadens their horizons and allows them at at least chew the fat with more advanced organizations.
also if you put something nice in the cal sheet that shows people are willing to spend on the best it gets taken way more seriously then when the guy reading it knows that you got good stuff vs considering the info your providing is on the edge of equipment usability.
AND ITS A HIGH SPEED WORLD NOW.

Increase frequency (and accuracy) and your opportunities just open way up then playing around some 'abyssal zone' bandwidth region. You can actually do stuff without it being cut throat with a buncha old experts. It's like being a colorful fish in the coral reef vs a angler in the marinara trench.
