*Please note that a new firmware version has been made available since the recording of this video which addresses some of the issues I found in my review. Make sure you update your scope!*

[@valerondany2371]

Hello! Can you help me? I have an FSP13 spectrum analyzer. Its input mixer is faulty, I cannot determine the mixer model, part number.

[@kenwallace6493]

I bought the RTB2004 based on this review. After two years, it has been the best scope I've ever used (sold my Tek). At the time it cost $4K, a very reasonable price.

[@LarrysMachineShop]

Awesome review, and thanks, indeed pushed me to actually go buy this unit. I trust your reviews better than any others.

[@jassimjaved3309]

You're so knowledgable and smart! Loving these reviews!

[@Dhamian]

I would like to enter the draw. This is the most thorough and comprehensive review of this equipment I've seen so far! Thank you

[@semidemiurge]

A very comprehensive review, the time you take to do these is very much appreciated. Please add me to this list.

[@galileo_rs]

You are obstructing the view ;) The image of all that test gear and the painting would make a great motivational poster. And yes, include me in the draw.

[@jonathankatz6804]

may as well throw my name in the hat as well, been watching for a few years now, keep up the excellent work

[@nxt-1]

Nice, in depth review. What else can we ask for? (except for Santa to enter me in the draw) Good luck to those who entered and thanks for reviewing Shahriar.

[@zhoeon]

As always your reviews are clear and exhaustive; please keep them coming and include me in the draw!

[@SJFOM]

Great review as always Shahriar, got excited for the review when I saw it lurking in the background of your BK Precision repair. As a first scope this would make the perfect Christmas present - please include me in your draw!

[@williammiller5490]

Great review. This is by far one of the better reviews on a new scope I've seen in a great while. Please keep up the good work. I too would love to be considered to receive this scope. Thanks again.

[@HarblesTheSkeptial]

I enjoy your videos because they are very well done. The production values are very good, the headset mic, for example, is appreciated as it keeps your commentary very intelligible with a minimum of ambient room reverberation, fan noise, etc. The content is consistently excellent and always informative. I like the varying levels of detail you go into, sometimes just a layman level overview and sometimes exploring the complex minutia of any given topic. Yours is one of the best Electronics Vlog pages on KZbin. You do seem adverse to showing your soldering techniques so if you haven't yet please make a video specifically on rework tips and tricks. Indeed I would be very pleased if Santa brought me a R&S RTB2004 for the imminent Solstice Celebrations.

[@andycooper1684]

Another great video Shahriar. I stumbled across your channel a while ago and even though the material is often way above my head, your style makes it accessible and enjoyable. I currently have a beloved but cranky Tektronix 454 - the first scope I used 45+ years ago - and even though it pains me to think about putting it out to pasture, the RTB2004 would look good on my bench :-). Keep up the good work.

[@gpcgamerTV]

Seems like a really nice piece of equipment! Of course I would also like to be included in the draw. I must say, I really enjoy these high quality reviews, so keep up the good work!

[@thedill1984]

This unit would be the become the centerpiece of my bench and so I would love to be considered for the draw. And thank you for showing such generosity to your viewers!

[@Voteformiles10]

Excellent review as always. I'm often recommending your videos to friends at uni.

[@bradfordthorne]

Thank you for providing such consistent in-depth content - every video is a treat. I would love to be considered for the scope.

[@InXLsisDeo]

Damn, that scope looks dope ! You are by far the best T&M equipment reviewer out there. Anyway, entering for the draw ! :)

[@danielhatch5347]

FYI, if you want to change the "Edu. Mode" button, just press the small gear icon directly above the center vertical graticule. This allows you to select which shortcut buttons to have in the top-left toolbar.

[@DmitriIvanov]

Thanks for tearing down the equipment when you review it, really makes it something special!

[@BoydWaters]

I am still learning from this single video. Super grateful thanks!

[@KerryWongBlog]

Thanks for staying up all night and prepare this video!

[@davidnewell5376]

As a poor Canadian student who has been saving pennies for a (far inferior) scope, receiving this R&S would be an incredible help. Please enter me in the draw! Thank you, both for the draw and for all of the amazing content that you create.

[@Nathan-qn9ec]

Excellent content as always Shahriar. Count me in for the drawing!

[@xisente]

It seems like a lot of thought went into the design! Please put me in the drawing, this scope and the experiment you laid out really inspire me!

[@glenyeldho5782]

Awesome video ! Only one KZbinr that test the gears up to it's bones ! I am interested in this scope

[@sporqer]

Please enter me in the draw! Very insightful teardown of the scope, manufacturing quality of this unit is very good!

[@paulapappelbaum6983]

That was a nice tour through what the scope offers! And finally a quiet scope... Please also include me in the draw.

[@jeditoto3441]

Hi - I have some trouble with the FFT function - at 28:11 you show the FFT and are able to change the timescale on the top scope section - on my RTB that timescale is blocked on a high speed - I see a large continuous band of signal - is this a normal behavior ? note that I have the latest firmware. Thanks - Robin

[@nmrgrnm]

In for the draw and congratualtions on a really comprehensive review!

[@eskwadrat]

Excellent video along with FPS1500 review helped me to familiarize with both R&S instruments quickly. Thank you.

[@nic_muses]

Sure, I'm mostly commenting to enter the draw, but I also want to say that was an awesome review and I'm sure many hours went into producing something so comprehensive but tightly presented.

[@22icyo]

Hey Shahriar, thanks a lot for all the very in-depth video you have done through out the years, most of the time, they are way clearer than actual EE classes... (well mine anyway). I really hope you continue for a long time. (and please enter me in the draw )

[@jpdiagnosys840]

[@aidanfransen3571]

Always been an electronics enthusiast and would love to be in the draw to have this scope as I start an Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering degree next year. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work. Cheers

[@GrubiBG]

Thanks for the great review, as always, and RTB2004 will be great add to my lab. Please include in the drawing :) If I missed review on the portable Scope RIders, will love to see those, too.

[@PauiComa]

Wow, what a G.U.I. ! and very responsive aswell. Nice review, I especially like it when you test the limits of the devices with your other high end signal sources and the explanations are comprehensive. Thanks. Please include me in the draw :)

[@robdb787]

Hi Shahriar, a question about the (apparent) 'unlocking' of the AM carrier frequency versus the modulation frequency at timestamp 21:47 in the video: wouldn’t it be possible that the problem is not the unlocking of the carrier frequency, but the limited resolution of the trigger? We are talking 1 Mhz vs 100 Hz (1:10,000) which means that only a minor variation in the triggering circuit (only 10 bit resolution 1:1024) would mean a (perceived) phase difference in the carrier signal, .. while the signals could very well be perfectly locked.

[@djhatton]

Hey Shahriar. Another excellent video! Really appreciate how much effort you put into generating experiments for us. I'm just starting to build up my lab. I really need a scope, but they're all a bit beyond my 'mi goreng' student budget at this stage. Having a box that would also serve as a fn gen and logic analyser would be a dream come true!

[@funkimunky1]

The review was great. All your videos are really helping with me getting into electronics. I would love to get this scope.

[@muttleysnickers6228]

Thank you R&S and Shahriar for a great review as always, please include me as a contestant, many thanks.

[@emi22n]

Thank you for this chance and congratulations to any winner, I think it's a very exciting oscilloscope.

[@gishageorge8492]

Thanks a ton for the opportunity for a student like me to have a go at owning one of these.........

[@kb65342]

As always, fantastic video. Educational and entertaining. Love the LED demo. An hour well spent. Thank you for all your great work. I'm not lucky, but please include me in the draw.

[@bobfuller]

Wow, I don't have anything as useful or sophisticated as the R&S RTB2004 on my bench. It would be extremely beneficial in helping me understand all the different bus types and fault finding, so I'd love to take part in the draw, please. Really learn a lot from your videos.

[@dimmog]

Scopes are gorgeous nowadays especially Rohde & Schwarz. Very cool review Shahriar! Please included me in the drawing. Thanks

[@JustinDavidow]

Awesome review Shahriar! Always loved the German approach to test equipment; could really use a scope for various design + troubleshooting tasks! please include me in the draw! :D

[@quantumbubbles2106]

As always, I'm being late to the party, but hopefully not too late. As I grew up with Hameg (now R&S) scopes in school and at university, a dream would come true... Anyway, great review, Shahriar!

[@davidgreaves9787]

This is a very nice scope - and it shows that you have spent a lot of time on the review - great job. Please put me in the draw and should I win it I will definitely use it.

[@doscucharas]

Please enter me into the draw. Truly awesome review and it looks like a great scope indeed.

[@jirikonop1354]

Hi, very nice instrument and very nice review. I love the Rohde&Schwarz instruments :-)!

[@theworldaccordingtome6448]

Thank you for the extensive review. It would be awesome if I could be included in the draw. Thanks again for all your work, it is much appreciated.

[@233kosta]

OK, colour me impressed. That single board solution is very elegant!

[@RoGeorgeRoGeorge]

@42:22, will the triggering on serial decoding work if the second byte is set from 'BC' to 'XX'? Also, I would like to enter the draw, please.

[@Jonas_Meyer]

But he set Num. of Symbol to 1 Symbol so i would expect that the oscilloscope would only trigger on the first data pattern he set. Also only the first one i highlighted(not greyed out). So i would still consider this a bug.

[@garci66]

Very late.. but there seems to be a "symbol offset" option. Maybe you need to define how deep into the serial start to look? (doesn't really make sense... but still)

[@catt87]

As always, a very nice review. Thanks for this, really enjoyed it.

[@cmuller1441]

Another great video from TSP. You can add me in the draw. This would definitely be a great replacement for my cheap usb scope.

[@bongolongoallthetime]

I'd like to get one too... I'm a follower of TSP since the beginning, I really appreciate the quality of your content.

[@raviteza8]

Like your reviews and especially the RF stuff. You explain it so well. Yes, plz include me in the draw! I am looking for an entry level scope anyways.

[@rattnallen0]

Great teardown/review! The scope would fit nicely on my bench so please include me in the draw.

[@KX36]

love the UI. Especially the labelled axes on the FFT. Wish more manufacturers did that.

[@maukka1187]

Great review with some actual use cases! I'd like to enter the draw as well. The extra bits of vertical resolution would come in handy.

[@stergeon8272]

As usual, great video! This scope excites me. Definitely enter me in the draw :)

[@valerondany2371]

Hello! Can you help me? I have an FSP13 spectrum analyzer. Its input mixer is faulty, I cannot determine the mixer model, part number.

[@lucrativesasquatch2539]

As usual, great review... Please count me in!

[@kuro68000]

With the sine and AM signals, the trigger point is near DC as you point out. But there is some noise too. Couldn't that be the reason for the signals not appearing to be locked?

[@markfritz6549]

This would an awesome addition to my lab, great video as always

[@nplanel]

Very good video as always ! hope it's not too late to be part of the draw :)

[@jgalbreath]

Hey you are incredibly detailed in your videos I use them regularly for reference material. Yes I will be happy to participate in this drawing of this incredible piece of equipment.

[@Wompylulz]

I study physics at university and I absolutely love electronics, my thesis will probably be on semiconductors! I would really love to have that unit and it will be very useful for may hobby and my career because I don't even own a scope right now! Thank you so much

[@kissingfrogs]

I would like it but cant say I really need it. Great video by the way.

[@RobEinstein]

This is scope is my dream... given that i can't get it for while its picture is now the wallpaper of my computer... would love to be considered into the draw. Who knows... my dream could come true! Btw, absolutely great review!!!!

[@StuartCGadgetRev]

That’s a nice scope.. thanks for the detailed review

[@daveblane6442]

SHARIAR! you are a genius. and this 'scope? AWEsome

[@Instrumentals-music]

Yes, I would like to enter the draw! I have the R&S FSC6 spectrum analyzer for my RF hobby, the RTB2004 would be the perfect unit to have!

[@kissingfrogs]

would displaying hex instead of ascii while trying to trigger on the serial hex value make it work better. When decoding i2c, the display was set to hex and triggering on hex pattern worked ok so might also work for serial decoding/triggering..

[@daBigR--]

Please consider in in thedraw, the big screen would be a very welcome feature for my presbyopia

[@6alecapristrudel]

I'd like to enter the draw! X-Y mode looks amazing, and you get the waveforms themselves too! It would come pretty handy for my DIY electrochemical rig.

[@martinpastva7989]

I'd like to enter the draw. Thanks for the review and other advanced videos, great work!

[@cpopte]

We are two guys developing IoT using NXP LPC1788 and we would really make use of this kind of scope. We are currently using his older brother ... a Hameg 203 from 1994 :) . I must say that in X-Y mode , Lissajoux paterns look better on mine ... but that triggering on your is absolutely amazing ! Please count us in for your draw. Anyway whoever wins it - I wish him all the best. And btw...this is the review that your took a break to do a quick repair right ? Haha. Waiting for more repair videos.

[@belguimbeta]

Great review! Count me in for the draw

[@ebarbie5016]

Hi. Can it measure THD of a signal? I could not find such option in the manual. Thanks

[@aperturecontrols7463]

Great review! It's amazing how all that functionality is put onto a single board compared to my "vintage" Tek 2235 analog scope. The video could've used more Pooch, though. ;) I'd like to be included.

[@megaqboy]

I'm almost done with my bachelors, and I learn lots of things from you. I would love to have an oscilloscope to use for some personal project I like to start when I finish my bachelors. I would like to be included in the draw.

[@kuro68000]

What is the maximum baud rate for the UART decoding? Often it's useful to use 4M or 8M baud when debugging.

[@xsk8]

Yes please! I do need it and would very much appreciate it.

[@Iaretibu]

Wow this scope is pretty amazing, I would like to be entered to the drawing as this would come in handy with my EE studies. And great video review by the way!

[@miroslawwlodkowski256]

Count me in please, crossing my fingers... may get lucky :). Great scope by the way and MSO.. so exciting

[@enojelly9452]

Fantastic as always, Shahriar! Please enter me into the drawing. My cheap 2ch 70MHz Siglent has served me very well over the years, but given that I have since started to do projects on FPGAs (and, to a great part thanks to you, have even gotten into digital filter theory, so a better FFT and less quantization noise helps), it yearns for a replacement.

[@MrAtomicLlama]

Great video as usual, and great scope. Since I'm still in the dark ages and manually wire my scope into my logic analyzer to do the analog/digital correlation, I'd like to be included in the drawing please! And thanks again for producing these!

[@ddowlingau]

I have a Hameg HMO1024 and you can really see the Rohde & Schwarz rebranding that the RTB2004 is building on from this platform. The touch interface looks like it adds a lot to the intuitive interface for the scope. Great that you demonstrated the mixed signal features of the scope as that is what I most like about the HMO1024. Being able to monitor an I2C, SPI or RS232 bus and at the same time probe around with one or 2 analogue channels is fantastic when messing with A2D or audio codecs. Please include me in the draw :-)

[@dadominicanstyl]

Great video review, world-class teacher.

[@3ktonn]

Thanks for the great review! The instrument is really nice!

[@TheKubux]

I would live to enter the draw. Awesome unit, the MSO capability would save me a lot of time recently.

[@mikepeterson3259]

I always look forward to your videos and walk away with something new learned. I would appreciate it if I could be placed in the drawing for the new scope, as it would be a great addition to the bench!

[@HORNET600MX]

I'm in! This is the perfect scope I was looking for...

[@chemicalhorre]

I would love if you would include me in this drawing. I do have a question, I am red/green color blind, while watching I couldnt really tell channel 2 and 3 apart. I dont know if this was on the cameras end or mine, do you know if they allow for color adjustment on the channels?

[@movax20h]

Does this scope support putting every channel in own window (in a 2x2 grid, or one on top of another) so they are all separate and have own vertical scales?

[@sheffieldhoney]

Love to enter the draw - many thanks Jez

[@jeremylister89]

We have 2 of these and have a problem. we have 150mV peak to peak of 106.786MHz with the scope probe just shorted to itself. Remove the probe and it all but disappears. Even weirder when you walk towards the scope it increases. Radio transmission? UPDATE on this being due to a local radio transmitter.."The station's transmitter is located at Wakefield House in Wakefield city centre. Ridings FM broadcasts on 106.8 FM on 500 watts of power." How do we fix this? The transmitter is just 280 metres away!!!

[@ernie708]

Fav feature is the split screen XY / time base mode. Count me in for the raffle, I could really use the scope! Shahriar, couldn't you just add a 50 ohm feed-thru to terminate? Do the fancy 50 ohm scopes really do more?
