So the overflow is at #199means when you want to check the AC Voltage what is 230V you have to select 1kV (yes it have )and the display will show you "23" ±1 digit. = ungenau it`s not a bug, it`s a feature Yep, got the same one.so. on the 20V scale it goes to 19.9 and then what? does something else light up to indicate an overflow?using a neon as a "1" is pure genius. (cheap ass but genius). have never seen it on an HP thats for sure.

well my $30 offer on that $45 hp 6227b just expired with no response from the seller.thought he might at least counter offer at 35 or 40.was my offer so low as to be offensive? did not mean for that to happen.....thought it was just part of the bargaining process.
A lot of sellers are like that or are victims of the “ebay turns offers on automatically” shit. Well just had a fun five minutes. was going to bid on an Elecraft K1 and the sodding connection lagged out because the kids are watching Netflix. Missed it by 2 seconds Edit: fuck iOS autocomplete making me sound like an idiot.

(cheap ass but genius). have never seen it on an HP thats for sure.How about a Fluke 8120/8125? Notice the subtle difference between the leading 1 and the others. Never thought of Fluke as "cheap", especially the military 8125A shown
I can’t be arsed to set it up

Not sure why some of them add the option to receive offer and just don't answer ?

Sorry, but I think you are pulling our legs, aren't you?ok. in the spirit of full disclosure i will embarrass myself. in addition to the tiny hp there is a box of assorted junk raped out of old pc's, and one ancient dinosaur (new jersey electronics? who the hell were they?)that is the sum total of my power supply resources. shameful isn't it? it may get me shunned, but it feels good to be out of the closet.We know the actual truth you couldn't find one with Nixies you liked Of all the test gear PS's seemed to just jump from Analog to LED to VFD's and skipped Nixies.

@mnem: I did actually write my own gixen class module for it but I don’t trust it to spend my money . Search has a human step. @Kosmic: Turned it off now. Too much hassle and distraction! Trying to remain focused Random question: has anyone used a Condor branded embedded linear power supply? There’s a cheap 24v unit @ 3.6A going and I’m thinking of grabbing it for HF PA stuff. I can crank it up to 28V DC out. Looks like generic Lm723 design. It’s cheaper than buying the damn transformer on its own.

Quote from: med6753 on December 02, 2019, 08:13:20 pmGeez....you make it sound like I turned down the opportunity of a life time. "Solder school" was something like a 2 hour class during work time. And this was in the 1970's before SMT. It was all pin thru hole. What the hell were they gonna teach me that I didn't already know? Not much. I dunno... maybe why a temp-controlled iron is important...? So you'd put away the firestarter and get a proper station... some time before somebody gave you one as a retirement gift in your old age...? mnem *frantically looking about for my athletic cup or some similar form of armor*

But how can you really be sure @med ? Time to get a calibrated source or meter ....Spent part of the evening playing with now sharp blades. Brought a set of very poorly sharpened Marples chisels and took to them with stone and then several grades of wet and dry. Still some more to do but the hollows in the faces and the horrid rounding and chips on the tips are now gone not to mention one of them had a small bevel on the back face .
That's it! No fancy shit, no variable temp, no flame throwers. And I hope the wrapped up cables annoy the shit out of you so perhaps you'll leave me alone.
