Comment on Cyberdecks, going analog, and convivial technologyparent

"For example a deck with a VNA, SDR, scope, and arbitrary waveform generator for field work with radio equipment."

Any real world examples? I don't think that's plausible from a RFI, power, heat, or just plain fragility perspective even with the cheapo hobbyist instruments suitable for kitbashing and only energizing a couple of instruments a time.

There's a bunch of SDR cyberdecks, there's a few that both lots more.

Take a look at this one:

Or this one:

Or take a look at what saveitforparts does on youtube

An RTL-SDR for the SDR and a Raspberry Pi Pico based "oscilloscope" just reinforces the extent to which these devices aren't practical.
