Hello,
Since it's my first post I'll do a quick intro, I'm a 49 y.o professional, doing embedded microcntrollers firmware development, done that for over 25 years, electronics is more of a hobby, never had the time to do more projects. I do Altium schematic and PCB design and in the past used to be quite good with Cadence, formely OrCAD, and Proteus suite.
Approaching 50, I figured out it is the time to do more of the things I love, Ive always been an enthusiastic electronics DIY hobbyist, but also never had the time to really do much about it. Now, I'm looking to find the time and do some hobby electronics, finally
Setting up a lab, looking to purchase some equipment, mostly going to be used for ham radio projects, home automation, green energy and generic hobbyist projects, anything goes.
I have someone local who has a Keysight N3300A, SN MY53xxx and a 6673 SN MY57, so not that old really. Looking good, aesthetically, both power on. The N3300A comes without any module. Asking price for both is £290, about $375.
I know they are big and noisy, that's something I have to consider. But the real question is, do they (still) worth the money, good equipment for a hobby lab?
Thanks.
Cornel
