I would be after the quad lite kit. any idea on the availability yet and costs all up with shipping to NZ?

Andrew will get back to you on that email tomorrow.

Of course, we always encourage those overseas to look into sourcing locally. We don't like stepping on other vendors overseas. That being said, we won't turn you away should you choose to get one from us.

We still have no shipment date for our stock order. Smiley

Might know more on that tomorrow too...

Cool thanks Tom, id rather purchase from you guys as this resource is invaluable, your kit has all the added extras i would have to order seperatley ohterwise, your after sale support is second to none from what i have seen and also pico group membership is the icing on the cake, particularly, as with all new models it will be good to have others out there to learn about the new features with.

I look forward to sorting the finer details out with you and Andrew and getting on the Pico wagon finally. Grin

Christmas has come early down here in middle earth. Despite it taking only 5 days to get from the states (7,168 miles) into the country and then a further 7 days to get to my door (671 miles) I'm very happy. I should be used to the laid back way things work down here by now. But my new Pico turned up today Grin

.

I had already sorted a new laptop specifically for it and with the comprehensive instructions from Autonerdz (thanks Tom & Andrew) All was installed and up and running without a hitch.

Some nice little extras included in the package too Cool

I have managed to get a tough case to get the laptop and scope essentials in to keep it all safe when im travelling out to site. Not a bad setup but time will tell if i need to change anything.

Thanks again to Tom, Andrew and anyone else at Autonerdz for making this purchase easy and straight forward. I look forward to testing it out over the next few days and posting here for others to see.

What brand are those amp clamps?

They are Hantek, i got them with my old hand held scope. They seem to work OK with the old scope and will hopefully test them out a little with the pico. Would like to have the pico/ snapon ones for continuity against other reference wave forms if nothing else, but just couldn't justify replacing them if they were operating OK, and there are other probes i would like to get first. Its almost an addiction this scope game, it seems theres a never ending supply of goodies available that i could find a use for Roll Eyes

Check that out too. That way you can save your money for awhile until you can afford the goodies! Still saving up for my wps 500 and micro current clamp,

Speaking of micro current clamp....Tom I noticed they are no longer for sale on the site. I have no idea how long they have been gone, but was wondering why and if you plan to carry them again.

I also found a post back in 2004 where you used to sale the Mac Vandenbrink video, through the eyes of a scope. It's not on there either and it's not on Mac's site either. I sent him an email about it, but haven't heard back. Do you have any insight about it either?

Sorry didn't mean to hijack anyones thread.

We found other vendors selling them so low that we could not hope to compete so we quit carrying them. We have no plans to carry them anymore. Great probes though. We had a lot of funds tied up in stocking those so we put those funds to better use like buying all the 4425s Wink

Not really. We quit carrying that stuff too....

on the seperate ground part...does that mean that if you are looking at ignition control module and pcm and you don't know which is positive and which pulls to ground then you can look at the same signal on two channels and have the ground lead one on positive and one on negative and then you can see if there is battery voltage on one that doesn't get pulled to ground or if there is no voltage then one channel will show a ground switching because of opposite polarity?...hope that wasn't too confusing.
