Actually Thomas Gray, Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College.
To each his sufferings: all are men, Condemned alike to groan;
The tender for another's pain,
The unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.
Has a slightly different meaning in context.
Ok, as my system isn't revealing enough (that means circuits are too stable and not easily screwed by differences in load? my cables are too short of parasitics??) I used a BNC cable to hook a signal generator to a scope and do a sweep from 1Hz to 1MHz, then changed direction of the cable and did the same sweep.
No difference.
So it seems Rohde&Schwarz and LeCroy are not good enogh and need engineering help from people who know how it's done. Or maybe I need to hook that egar up to a grounding box.
Bill Whitlock did a page on why the shield needs to be connected at the driven end rather than at the receive end. But then, interference is rather situation specific.
Or said this way
Huh... And all these years I've thought it was spelled "pidgeon."
Learned something new, I did!

I am with Dan (Max Headroom) on this. I have heard and even own a sample of wire directionality (my CTC Blowtorch) that I cannot emulate with just random wiring (I've tried), but to feed info like this to people who frequent this thread is a waste of time. Dan, keep up the good fight, but you have to realize that you are reasoning with the 'pitchfork wielding villagers' not people who want to learn something new.
Pig e on ?
