AA-35 Zoom from RigExpert

Preliminary post about a new piece of equipment (I rarely buy new), just added to the shack.

It’s the AA-35 Zoom from Rig Expert. Great little piece of equipment that I’m learning how to use.

I did have an initial issue with it. When trying to download plots to either of 2 PCs or my Mac, the Zoom

would reboot and fail to transfer the data. I would let me capture screenshots off the device (that is a cool feature) but full plot downloads failed. I found that the firmware was one minor version behind, so I managed to run the update tool (after 3 tries) and the firmware finally updated. Following that, the plot downloads and everything else started to work normally.

More to follow once I’ve had a chance to play around with it. In the mean time.. here are 4 plots I captured. I’ll put together a post about them later.
