It was newly bought on eBay so no point to start repairing. I just returned it. This problem is common with some Hantek Scopes and there is a very good video already about it here:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmfUZX2ZhLF-has Cheers..

Thanks for sharing that. I've been looking at those on ebay. It looks like a software fault but that's no help to you. Please let us know if you have any success with a refund or replacement.

No problem.. Yes the seller is very good and I've dealt with her before. She apologised and sent my refund. I know it's a production fault and not the seller so will continue to buy from her. She told me if I want to buy another and find a fault she'll refund it again. I have several Tektronix Scopes but none of them do serial decoding so I may buy another Hantek just because they have a comprehensive serial decoding that includes RS232/UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN.@@warwickbunn1250

Hi.. Sorry I am very bad that I did not visit any of my videos for a long time and I got no notification that you had asked me a question.. and just by chance saw your message today. There is almost no information available for the TR4131 and I could not find any when I was faultfinding mine.. but the later model Advantest R1431 has some similar mixer frequencies and power levels and the service manual for that one was available on the internet so you could have a search for that.. and it may help you. I actually stopped working on the analyser because I was very busy with other things so did not make further progress with it. One day I will take another look (!) So is your analyser making those same strange off the screen scans as mine was..? I'd be interested to know. Only one person suggested something on the first video but he was way off course because even if the input diodes were damaged you would still have the 'x' scanning noise floor. So I disregarded what he said. Nobody else knew what the problem could be it seems.. as I got no further suggestions.. and my own analyser had already had several engineers look at it before I owned it.. and none of them could fix it either. Keep in touch if you like and let me know how you get on with yours.

Most likely the first mixer has been damaged and you are seeing LO breakthrough. The CRT is fine, just repaired one which looks similar (not as bad) on screen. It had one diode in the single balanced mixer which was damaged...replaced both. A manual can be found here www.advantest.com/service-support/electronic-measuring-instruments/operating-manual-of-discontinued-products unfortunately not exactly the TR4131 but close enough to work out what is going on...good luck

Hello, I am the chap who bought the Redifon I think you saw sell on E'bay. Radio is now sitting in a Parcelforce depot some 20 miles away, Hope will be here Tmz. Tnx for this which I have found most, most useful and look forward to any more you could put on, as time goes by. Strange, there is another Redifon just like this with ad on meters and ATU on E'bay. Lets hope it finds a good home. Look forward to more from you, Best regards, John.

Thanks for the nice little video on the this old scope. I did notice something kind of odd, due to the time zone changes around the world the date you loaded it was the 21st of March but where ever the server is for YT the date published is Mar 20th. I guess the time travel folks could have fun with this one. Best Wishes n Blessings Keith

For anyone interested.. the sound card used here is the onboard Soundmax Digital Audio on my Dell GX260 desktop Pc.. Which shows that onboard sound will work with sdr and you don't necessarily need to buy expensive soundcards
