Lately, Earthlink has been treating my jpeg and zip attachments
as a "virus" !! Especially if they are over 1 MB.
Big Brother is helping you.

The first time I heard of "all-pass" filters, I said to myself: what's
the point?

I could say the same about Earthlink's filter (all-reject): what's the
point?

Hi Richard,

DPDT ??

double pole, double throw, which could be drawn like this:

-----o
-----o ---- o -----    (pole 1)

-----o
-----o ---- o -----    (pole 2)

Two "throws" each.

Really!? I don't think I have ever seen a coax switch or relay where all
the grounds (shields) weren't always connected together.

Unless I suddenly forgot how to use a meter, the grounds are isolated. There
is also a visible plastic (teflon?) ring at the base of each coax.

Hi,
This is not unusual, it's common with units that have transformer
isolated inputs, have a look at an old thin Ethernet card and it's BNC
socket.

Robert.

This is kind of on the same topic as the government surplus chit-chat...

Just curious but has anyone bought stuff from the website:

www.govliquidation.com

????

I just started looking at it last night, they have a ton of stuff and right
now everything has zero bids. I don't know if people all snipe at the last
second or what.

Thoughts / Opinions?

Jason,

No snipe allowed... if you bid the expiry time is prolonged.
Any kind of bad stories; you must be there and see the equipment and
remove it personally, or you get a lot of scrap. At least, this is
true buying from Europe! Too many people involved, misdescriptions,
extremely bad packaging, and so on. I bought four or five times years
ago, then I had enough. The European office was managed by good
people, but unable to help. Now it's closed.

Interesting. Yes, I noticed that 'you' have to pick it up (or find some
service to do it for you).

I'm in Houston so I wouldn't mind driving around to the few locations here
in Texas. Though it seems like most of the good test equipment stuff is
located in Norfolk VA... Anyone live near there?

It looks like San Antonio has some good stuff coming up, several HP 5370B's,
Tek scopes, Austron 2000C, etc... I think I might sign up and 'watch' some
items, just to see what prices close at.
