cost so much

An intro to S-parameters

With the advent of the nanoVNA, S- parameter measurement is now within
reach of most hams. What are S-parameters? Watch this video and find out.
Most hams probably dont need to know this stuff, but its pretty cool when
you do know it.


Crystals go to war

They dont make films like this anymore. Im guessing that they dont make crystals like this anymore, either.


Why are Fluke meters so expensive?

Fluke meters are arguably the Cadillacs of the test and measurement world.
In this video, Dave explains why this is so. Although he gives eight
reasons why Flukes cost more than other meters, I think that the most
important is measurement confidence. You just feel more confident about the measurement when youre using a Fluke.
