Hi Esmond, Thanks for doing that. Screen shots of the CRT of a scope usually do not need to be high resolution. Dennis Tillman W7PF

Thank you for your suggestions on what we should do to slow down our use of storage space on Groups.io. After consulting with Michael Dunn I have changed the maximum size limit allowed for photos from

Hi Esmond, I assumed it was linear because I have no basis to assume otherwise until I get some data over time that indicates otherwise. I realize that, as taking and posting photos becomes easier all

Hi Carsten, I asked our members for suggestions when I posted initially about the storage problem. I appreciate the wide range of suggestions I am receiving. Whatever solution our members choose it mu

Hi Mark, Thanks for the suggestion. Several others have suggested it too. I think it will have the smallest impact on our photo archive going forward and it appears to dramatically slow down the rate

Hi Carsten, You make a good point about the loss of what might be crucial detail if existing photos are compressed. If we can limit the size of future photos (I have to check if that is possible) then

Before we left Yahoo TekScopes was using about 1½GB of storage for our posts. This meant our storage needs were too large to qualify for the free version of Groups.io. That was fine because their Prem

Hi Damian, My concern is that you do not appreciate the seriousness or the ramifications of your actions. You may think otherwise but this is not a joke site. Our members are interested in maintaining

I'm not alone. No one else got your joke either. If you want to tell Jokes there are other places on the internet that are more appropriate. The response from those who replied so far is this was a co

There was virtually nothing in this video about surface mount. Quite the contrary the video showed a standard wave soldering machine that was standard equipment back in the late 1960s. If our members

Hi Harvey, I'm delighted to hear you make Tek related "goodies" using Eagle. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one doing similar things. Kurt is willing to create a section of TekWiki devoted to thi

Hi Craig, As a regular user of Eagle I have been astounded by the flexibility of its user interface, the capabilities of the product, and the size of the parts library. I did notice the change to Auto

Hi Steve, I think both of your reasons don't stand up to the ample evidence to the contrary. For instance, over the years Tek added additional features to the 7000 manuals to make these instruments mo

My laptop began dying 9 days ago. It took 5 days before it was hopelessly dead. It took 4 more days of trying to restore in vain to bring me to this point. That is why you have not heard from me for o

Hi Reg, I will be waiting (and I sure many more of us as well) to see the results of your vector network analysis Applied to the BW of the DSO. I have been aware for many years that you could take the

Hi Damian, This is a simple subject to learn more about on your own and IT IS NOT RELEVANT TO TEKSCOPES. If you want to know more, I know you are smart enough to search out compressor filters on googl

Hi Reginald, Testing cables with a TDR reveals important characteristics of how a cable will respond when a pulse is applied to it. It is a quick way to check a cable at a glance. But it misses many o

Hi John, If you want to send me one I can test it and compare the results to the two 012-0482-00 cables I have. Contact me off list at dennis at ridesoft dot com if you are interested. If I had to gue

Hi Siggi, YIKES! Thanks for catching my error. That was a very stupid typo I made. I know the speed of light by heart. I was getting tired when I was doing that part of the write-up and I remember I w

A follow up bit of information which may matter with the SG503 cable: Within Tek it came as a surprise to at least one very senior engineer I know when he discovered that BNC connectors were NOT 50ohm
