    A big nut in the middle ??? no comment

    that i river display port is compatible with some single board computers.
    its a great display just small, sadly no longer made so dead i rivers are the only source.

    That RF boards in the pilots propably are off-the-shelf, one is nrf24l01 used in many projects like Arduino.

    Don't listen to the grumpy commenters Dave, Sagan is a cute kid. Smart too. 👍😺

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jfbeam says:

    No, the B-52 does not use that astro compass anymore. They've all been modernized. Otherwise, you'd be in possession of classified technology. Even the analog targeting computers from a WW1/WW2 battleships are classified. The ones converted to a museum have the guts of those things removed. That's a bit sad; mechanical computers are a lost art these days.

    RFT ist an former GDR brand and means Rundfunk- und Fernmelde-Technik.

    Greetings from germany.

    Why does Sagan sound like he has just got off the plane from East London? lol

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wondras says:

    Oh my, I had one of those Realistic radios back in the day (with crystals for all three channel slots!) I recall it having pretty impressive range. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever got rid of it… maybe I still have it! hehe

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrKikoboy says:

    I have no idea about any of this stuff but this is the most hilarious channel I've seen on Youtube…..

    Hafb is hill Air Force base in Roy utah

    I still use an Iriver player! I have the Spinn. Bought it back in 08/09 and its still going strong today with no issues.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ellie Mason says:

    You definetly look like Sheen Estevez from jimmy neutron

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Elecifun says:

    Hello, this may be off topic, but has anyone heard of a Spin Capacitor ?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DAVID GREGORY KERR says:

    DNT GMBH also make walkie Talkies which use a synthesizer for channel generation.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maffoo says:

    Cute kid! 🙂 Can I ask where the name Sagan came from, because I've never heard it before!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JanJanson84 says:

    Well 10000 Mark was a very reasonable price so not everybody could affort this puppy. I think my parents earned about 300-400 Mark back in the days, so my father bought a cheaper russian oscilloscope which is a lot crappier 😉 maybe we send it to your for mailbag 🙂

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christopher Johnson says:

    You could buy a Trabant (east german car) for 10000 (eastern) Mark. Well, at least you could order one because you had to wait for sometimes more than a decade to get it delivered.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tschaei kaei says:

    The boy will be a fully educated engineer when he's 10. Or even sooner.
    But you should not always take anything off his hands. Let him think and try things himself, Dave.
    Could be that you do this to keep the videos short, but yes, i think you know what i mean.
    Looking forward to have a child myself and teaching him/ her stuff.

    What about a Saigon (or Sagan) doing a teardown video all by himself? I think people would love it.
    Sorry bout the name, i am from Germany and it's not a common name here.
    Children are surely fun

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rithius3485 says:

    Sagan's cute, Just a bit grabby lol.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Pendergraff says:

    I'd love the oscilloscope but I'm in California 😭😫

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pelnied says:

    Blew my mind when you started transmitting AM over your cables! I really liked how the Realistic cutoff the frequencies higher than 4 kHz due to them being above the normal vocal frequency range for communications. Made me want to try it and we have a vintage radio that was restored by some local Amateur radio friends of ours. That old radio might come in handy for this, though it'll be weird using an AWG with a classic old 20's radio

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Judd Lewis says:

    I live in Melbourne and I like your oscilloscope

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Jones says:

    iriver sold to SK Telecom in Korea in 2014 🙂

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars compactc9 says:

    Sagan is absolutely adorable, and very smart too.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ray45 says:

    Your son looks just like you Dave.
