![]() ![]() When working in the field, an engineer may need to travel frequently and operate efficiently without direct supervision from their leaders. Leadership: Depending on the engineer and how much experience they have, they may be in a position of leadership for other engineers. They may also need leadership abilities to train new RF engineers on how to use equipment and follow company policies. Tool-based knowledge: There are many trade-specific tools that RF engineers must use, including spectrum analyzers, vector analyzers, oscilloscopes, receivers, power meters and network analyzers. Technical aptitude: These engineers use computers and programs to design new technology and create new systems, meaning they must be technically capable.Ĭritical-thinking: An engineer may need to evaluate a system to determine which component is causing an error and suggest solutions for remedying the situation. ![]() In some situations, the engineer may need to think quickly to recognize and solve the problem for the benefit of their team.Ĭollaboration: Rf engineers work with teams of other specialists to design, create and implement telecommunications devices and systems, so collaboration is important to facilitate new ideas and efficiency.Ĭoding and software development: Though knowing how to code and develop software isn't required to become successful as an RF engineer, it can allow them to create new technology and better understand each element of the telecommunications operation. Understanding coding languages like Java, Python and C++ can be advantageous for RF engineers. Or to turn the PC on first after a power outage.Initiative and innovative thinking: RF engineers who develop new technology and systems for communicating can benefit from originality and innovative thinking. The solution was to never turn the PC off, either. And that stupid plotter had a 20-minute initialization/self-test/warmup cycle, so he never turned it off. If the plotter was powered on before the PC, the PC wouldn't power up at all. With an onsite service call, I figured out that it was actually his parallel interface HP Paintjet large format plotter causing the problem. In his shop, it wouldn't power up at all. Back in the dark ages, I had a customer with a PC that wouldn't power on. If I'm nearby, the problem will go away again. When someone complains about an intermittent problem that was "fixed" & comes back, I tell them that it's because of my magnetic personality. Usually, when it's fixed, it's fixed - not just hiding. I'd much rather have something that fails every time. does the DX work with RF7 & earlier? I know that the X doesn't, and that caused problems for some people, too.Īnd I totally agree about the intermittent problems. But I have a very vague recollection that someone might have posted a similar problem with an X a long time ago, too. I'm aware that the problem is specific to the DX. They don't look pretty - but they work great. Most of them demand cosmetic perfection even if the bungs don't affect the operation. My older laptop has a broken corner on the display enclosure. Oh well, the price was right since I work for a PC refurbisher & can get cosmetically challenged PC's for GREAT (scrap) prices. HhhMmmm I wonder why I bothered to upgrade - except for the video card. The biggest difference I see between them is that the GTS450 gives me about 100fps & the GTX960 gives me about 220 on Henson Field with the same aircraft on "high" graphics settings. They both work perfectly with both InterLink Elite & X in any USB port. ![]() Both boot from SSD & have a RAID data volume. I even tried hooking up my old PC & tried testing on that & still can't reproduce whatever the problem was to jog my memory. But I can't reproduce it now, and don't remember exactly what the problem was. But I have a VERY vague recollection that I had some sort of trouble with it when I first got it & plugged it into a USB3 port that went away when I connected to USB2. And the cable has a blue tongue, so I guess it's probably native USB3 anyway. I have an InterLink X not a DX so we're talking apples & oranges. I admit that my speculation is based on "head games" not any sophisticated testing or equipment. ![]()
