Can't find Winscope anymore.
A good AC voltmeter that can read down to 20 mv and has a bandwidth of 150Khz.
OK, I asked a question about voltmeters, I got this response:
Please pardon me for being confused, but I don't know how to look for such a thing. "How do I search for a voltmeter with these specifications?" is a question that I can't answer.
Can someone point me in the right direction by posting a product link? I'll really appreciate it.
One thing to add about using sync or repro heads. It depends on the design of the machine. As a rule the repro head is better, but Tascam broke that rule with a few of their decks. Machines like the 38 and 48, use the same part number for both sync and playback heads. So, you don’t get the same advantage by using the repro for playback as you would with a machine that has a specially designed Repro head.

BTW everybody evm1024 turned me on to TrueRTA, a freeware analyzer/scope/meter for PC...the coolest freeware program like this I have ever seen.
OK, it's one of those rare nights where I have access to a computer for the entire evening. My computer broke down almost three months ago and I just really haven't had any desire to replace it... ironic, considering that I'm a web programmer...
Anyway, I'm moving along in a number of projects. I'm about ready to start ordering some things off the Web. I wanted to run this by everyone here before I make the purchase:
250 nWb/m MRL tape for a TASCAM 34b. Is this right??
I think this is what the manual says but I want to be 100% sure.
And, for the oscilloscope. I want to have a hardware oscilloscope. And, I know nothing about oscilloscopes.
So, I'm going by what I *do* know, which is basically whatever TASCAM tells me to do in its manuals. In the back of my TASCAM 34b manual, in section 2 under "Essential Test Equipment Required", I see this:
Oscilloscope: General Purpose
So I'm assuming this means that any oscilloscope will do. Ehh? Right?
OK, so how about this one? It's the cheapest one that I can find, new, since I don't know how to buy a used oscilloscope: Velleman PPS10. It retails around $150 on the Web. Keep in mind that I'm not going to get into oscilloscope-intensive hobbies or professions any time soon, so "Just Enough Oscilloscope" is right for me.
What do you guys think? Last night I tackled the multimeter issue (I ended up buying a used Fluke 87 for about $90 on eBay), tonight I bought a MRL tape (7.5 ips and 15ips NAB 355 nWb/m 1/4" tape), and tomorrow I'd like to pick up the scope.
I'm glad this thread is sticky!
