Maybe they should just get some cessnas, or some retired news helicopters.Gripen may fit their needs better than US/Russian AC.
It's designed to be field-maintainable,and have an ability use public roads
for runways.(after [or before] the usual bases are bombed out.)
Did you just copy and paste this description of this plane from aOTOH,most other modern fighters must be maintained at and operated from
military bases.
sure it is.Gripen is still a modern,high performance fighter.

You really think the auth african air force can afford US made
airplanes? I'll give them credit when due though, nobody wants some
russian shit either. All russian planes are good for are crashing at
airshows.

It was back in 2011-03 or so that I connected the Panasonic TV
to the Armada and have forgotten some details. I did set X to
640x480 and find the display on the TV still not resolved.
How closely is the composite signal tied to the built-in video on
a laptop? I wonder whether software can control composite
output independently of *VGA. Even so I'd wonder what X could do
to make the TV image fail.

traces

The sweep is set at 1 ms and trigger coupling is to TV-H. How
do you connect a scope to the composite output on a computer
and what is the usual display?

Yes.I hunted up the Compaq Armada docs from HP and they are not really
clear on the TV output. They say the unit puts out composite TV.

No waveform monitor. The photos I posted are just the raw video
going
to the
BK 2522. Without the demodulation capability of a waveform
monitor,
an
oscilloscope can not display color bars. The BK 2522 might do a
little more
in this case but I have yet to learn the skills.

**The full brightness thing is not associated with the electronics. It's an
issue with the gas in the tube and, to a lesser extent, the phosphor
coating. You can prove this for yourself, by measuring the light output of a
standard (iron ballast) fluoro. Light output gradually increases over a few
seconds (or minutes, depending on ambient temperature).
Don't sweat it anyway, LEDs will replace them in most applications very
soon. I've been mucking about with a couple of these recently:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/12w-3500k-800lm-warm-white-led-emitter-metal-strip-12-14v-80310
It delivers almost double the light output of an 11 Watt T5 fluoro and is
far more compact, dimmable and has nicer colour temperature.
