Re: Not a good idea.....

It was just a cheap Farnell 12Mhz dualtrace (DVT12-14) I got for £25.. The timebase length was incorrect so just opened it up and synced it into a known good sig gen..

Not had any test equip for years now (apart from a decent multimeter) but want to start doing some new project work (like a 1.09Ghz ADSB reciever)

I have the Velleman HPS40 and it's useful to have one. my ex boss is looking currently at a Lacroy Waverider 4 input scope, seems like a nice product.

10KV,,,,,,,,, how does that stack up against a belt off a car or bike's HT lead Kymmy

I've had a few 240 volt belt's in my time and came all too close with a 3 phase supply I thought was dead, luckily enough the screw driver tips vaporised in a puff of smoke before I did

Needless to say the multimeter get's used before I touch anything now.
