Having had one running for about six months, I can confirm it's
excellent. Far from being infrequently-needed, it has become one of
those instruments I couldn't possibly manage without!

Read the documentation and you'll see exactly why.


I shall. And thanks for the info!
I didn't realise you'd bought the kit. Did you have to have it shipped
over from the States? I assume there's no outlet for them here, as yet
at any rate. What's the UK price inc.shipping? (Just in case I can't
find those details on the site).

At the time, there wasn't a kit as such, but the parts cost about £100
in total (not including the DDS ICs, which Analog Devices generously
supply free to amateurs as 'samples').

However, certain parts are only obtainable in the USA, so people in
Europe are getting together to buy in bulk. I don't have any specific
information about that, but a mailing-list is to be started shortly
(wait for the announcement) so that will be a focal point for people to
co-ordinate their buying.
