We're truly in a golden age of test equipment! It's crazy how much performance you can get at such an affordable price point (at least 'on paper performance')

[@KissAnalog]

So true! A real nice bench can be built at a small fraction of the old days - even 10 years ago.

[@mosfet500]

Thanks Eddie. $167, that's amazing! While AWG distortion isn't on par with dedicated sine wave gens you can tell a lot by looking at the specs, also, noise floor, frequency accuracy and square waves at high frequency. I'll have to check your video on the original and see how it did.

[@KissAnalog]

I do need to do some testing and comparison to my UNI-T as well.

[@JasonLeaman]

This Canadian friend approves !!

[@KissAnalog]

Always looking for approval of my Northern friends;)

[@versace885]

Hi Eddie thank you for the great detail review.👍

[@KissAnalog]

I appreciate you!

[@Gengh13]

I would like to see those generators connected to the pico scope to see how noisy the spectrum looks. For the price they are really decent. A few years ago those specs were mid-range and costed a fortune.

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks for this request! I have wanted to do that myself;) I'll get that done soon;)

[@junctek7696]

The video is wonderful, thank you!

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you!

[@ronjones4069]

Thanks!

[@KissAnalog]

Thank you for your generosity! I appreciate you!

[@andymouse]

Nice review, just a couple of points firstly I guess the answer to the connection problem is ' it doesn't work' ? secondly I would like to see an arbitrary waveform of your design being programed into one these things, I think that would be an internet first. There are a lot of reviews on 'ARB's' nobody demo's that function and it's in the name yet its never seen ! because there are 5 quid units on ebay that will give you sine square ect.....cheers !😃

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks for the great idea! I’ll do that;)

[@nickyhansen8981]

Has it got phase control to simulate a balanced audio signal?

[@RicardoPenders]

It's exactly the same one that I want to buy, good that you're reviewing these Eddie so I know which one I should get. Which one do you recommend?

[@KissAnalog]

I’d get the PSG9080 as it is packed with features. Or maybe the UnI-T if you don’t need the higher freq and paying a bit more for the small size. The 30MHz UNI-T is about the same cost but nice and compact: amzn.to/3SY7n9H.

[@RicardoPenders]

@@KissAnalog I'm eye balling the PSG9080 for a while now, and I like the TTL connection on the backside which is very useful to have just as the modulation input what the UNI-T doesn't have, very hard choice for me to make.

[@friedmule5403]

What a great review, your editing was fine and the view of the specification was a fine detail. :-) I am wondering what you get in a main brand EXPENSIVE AFG, compared to, i.e. the one you reviewed today. Is it worth to give $1000 for a 20MHz vs Juntek PSG9080?

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks Fried Mule for your awesome feedback! I should do a comparison of an expensive generator vs this one:)

[@versace885]

Yaaaa your back ❤. I have been sending you positive thoughts and prayers. YOU seem like the Nicest person ever, just like Eddie. 😊

[@friedmule5403]

@@versace885 WOW! What a nice thing to say, you genuine made me happy!! Unfortunately, have I been a too long resident on a hospital (almost 6 month). No question about you are very nice too! :-)

[@hitechrr]

How good is it as a frequency counter? I have the JUNCTEK JDS8080 I paid $114. It was a good deal. The frequency counter matches what my oscilloscope shows but I don't have a stand-alone frequency counter, so I don't know how close it is to being right.

[@john_hind]

Hi Eddie! I think you owe it to your audience to test that minimum frequency specification of 1nHz. See you in 32 years!

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks John! I’ll start today;)

[@fredflintstone8048]

It looks like the link you posted is for the 8060 and the 8080

[@KissAnalog]

Thank you! I have a new link in the description: s.click.AliExpress.com/e/_DCQAVu7

[@davidadkins8818]

How does this unit compare performance wise with the UNI-T UTG962?

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks - great question! I'll have to do a comparison video;)

[@jstro-hobbytech]

That bt module is on the inside of the other box if I recall correctly

[@KissAnalog]

I think you are right Joey. I don’t know why I was having trouble connecting to it.

[@jstro-hobbytech]

@@KissAnalog I have the koooooolertron version of the pgs but it's called jds something and I've never tried to connect it. I think I mentioned it in the last review or when I was talking to you. I've been sleeping in a chair that's out to kill me since the hurricane and my mind is mush lol

[@RensePosthumus]

Does this new model have a gate out signal for the sweep?

[@KissAnalog]

That’s a great question. It wasn’t obvious to me reading the manual if that is possible. It does syn one channel to the other, and it is programmable, so I would think this could be done. It also has the external port at the front and the sync port at the back, so I’d think it could, but I’ll have to test for that. This is a great thing for me to put on my list of things to review or check when making videos on generators.

[@poormanselectronicsbench2021]

That's a good question, and something to investigate, as I think a lot of prospective buyers would like something they can generate a "bode plot" sweep when doing IF alignments on radio repair work.

[@RensePosthumus]

@@poormanselectronicsbench2021 I have the earlier version. That one has no gate signal. It is a real kludge to set ch2 to a ramp wave and then Ch1 to FM mod and output both to the scope

[@RensePosthumus]

@@KissAnalog Sync port at the back is for syncing multiple signal generators together.

[@gaborjuhasz2260]

Can this thing really do as low as 1nHz?

[@northox]

I can't help but wonder if the Chinese are just messing with us: "JunkTech".

[@KissAnalog]

LOL that would be funny!

[@jesterraj]

when you say low cost what price is that ?

[@KissAnalog]

Great question! I talked about the pricing at the end of the video, but I’ve seen prices as low as $141. Any other generator with these specs is over $300. If anyone can find another low cost one I’d like to review it;) Please use my AliExpress link to go there and then search around for the lowest cost and use their discount codes that they provide.

[@jesterraj]

@@KissAnalog the uni t is good too

[@jesterraj]

@@KissAnalog ok I was pricing in Amazon. ...will check out aliexpress

[@jesterraj]

What can the pulsating waveform be use for? Can you do an e.g.

[@andymouse]

@@jesterraj If you were developing a piece of medical equipment you might want to simulate a heart beat, that is what you would use an Arbitrary Waveform Generator for, however probably not this cheapo stuff !

[@stevenbliss989]

Oh, and remember this is a JUNTEK compared to the little bit crappy JUN"C"TEK ...so mind yours "C"'s ...no idea what all that is about, other the the PSG9080 has been around for 2-3 years now, and the other one just popped into existence recently. It need not have bothered, same price and quite inferior to the PSG-9080 from JUNTEK! :) BTW you ATTEN looks quite nice too, but I have view/read only a few reviews on it, all of them good.

[@KissAnalog]

LOL I think leaving the ‘C’ out of the name is a good idea;) I agree Steven, this PSG9080 is a no brainer. Probably could sell at a higher price given the competition’s pricing.

[@stevenbliss989]

@@KissAnalog The sad thing is that when it first came out it was bare over US$100, as I did not have the money then I CRIED like a baby. This unit was then way below it's worth in $, and as you say, could sell for even more than today's higher price. It is a price/value gem! :)

[@jstro-hobbytech]

Almost forgot.....bahaah

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks Joey! U da Man!

[@jstro-hobbytech]

@@KissAnalog glad ya think so haha

[@SurvivalSquirrel]

You should have investigated those interesting things! Otherwise it looks like you want to hide some issues...

[@KissAnalog]

You bet - which things do you want to see? No reason for me to hide anything - I am not part of this company and they don't pay me for anything.
