Hello Spehro,
Anybody who does serious consumer electronics R&D would. That's where a lot of the stuff I did for clients is being manufactured. The number of distributors alone that are in Shenzen is astounding.

Interesting.
I wonder how many people worldwide could even find Shenzhen (pop. around 12 million) on a map.
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

True, but it's not exactly a household word outside of industries (such as ours) that source from there. I think most of the foreigners living there are still those who live in the Shekou district and are involved the exploitation of the oil resources under the Bohai sea.

You got to be kidding! The electronic industry there is most likely bigger than the one in your city, whereever you are in.

I've never been there, and have absolutely no business to go there, but wouldn't mind a holiday trip ;)

Hello Frank,
For vacation trips my wife and I try to avoid cities larger than pop
5000 :-)-- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com
Definitely one place you wouldn't want to go for a holiday unless you find industrial zones relaxing. Wait, I spoke too quickly: they have Karaoke bars.

Or perhaps to see how lucky you are at home, away from the smoky air and dark rivers.
Other than Chinese tourists visiting a couple of theme parks (neither of which would be of much interest to westerners, I think) there is very, very little there to interest a tourist. Think a brasher, ruder, more polluted version of New York, with very little of the stuff that makes NYC interesting. It's much more than an industrial zone- it's a major financial center. Relatively crime-ridden, for a Chinese city (though still far safer than even a small US city). It's cosmopolitan in the sense that everyone is a newcomer (it was a village only 2 or 3 decades ago), but they are 99%+ Chinese from other parts of the country. Scaraoke is something to avoid.

Certainly in employment numbers. Certainly in growth. Maybe in dollars, I'm not sure how to compare aerospace electronics and companies like Celestica vs. $.50 products produced by the containerload and low-value-added assembly of high-end products such as IPODs. Possibly one little high-tech box might represent an entire containerload of their stuff in value. But that doesn't make that city a household name.
For that, it needs a baseball team that can take the World Series, or a World-cup-winning Soccer team or something. Or maybe some blonde chick has to go missing there.
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

I'm easy to please, when on holiday. But 14 days in an industrial zone could even be too much for me. I suppose I could combine it with Hong Kong and Macau. Renting a car with a gps navigator (or just buy one locally) and I'm sure I will still get lost beyond imagination.
This sounds okay:

Bought a new spectrum analyser from there the other week. Excellent product with a good price. Rest of the world T+M makers beware. john

Not a good idea, unless you speak Chinese.
Unless you program your own map, gps data is not widely available there.
Hello John,
Thanks. The link broke but got to their analyzer selection page. Which model did you buy? Looks like wome of them have a RBW that is a bit unorthodix for EMI pre-compliance work. But if the price is right that can be handled.
Did you buy it while over there? Doesn't look like they have dealers (yet).

(yet).
No, I couldn't find a dealer either. Just looked at the link and the top left model has changed to a similar item but with screen readout. I got the "SM5011". 0-1Ghz with built in 0-1Ghz TG,
400k/40kHz RBW, 1uV sensitivity, light and portable. Seem now to be on offer all over the place but I got mine via Ebay from a dealer in HK. (Item used to be part of the Hameg range). With carriage and import taxes, total UK price was about £600. Just now looking at their EMC sniffer kit and lusting over a nifty LCR meter they do. john-- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
You are not allowed to drive in China anyway, unless you are a resident with the appropriate papers. You *could* drive in Hong Kong, but it's pretty much insane-- gas is extremely expensive, parking is difficult and expensive, and they drive on the "wrong" side of the road for left-pondians. It's a lot easier to take public transit and taxis.
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany
