  • Rhode & Schwarz - Website Down?

    Hello, all. I haven't been able to access the subject's website for 2
    weeks now. Assuming the problem isn't on my end why would a major
    supplier of test equipment allow this? Thanks for any insight. Sincerely,

    Thanks for responding, John. The URL you supplied indicated that the
    R&S site was up. I've been using a VPN and when I disconnected from the
    VPN I was able to log on to the R&S website at www.rohde-schwarz.com.
    Now I have to find out the reason for the VPN's discrimination.

    It's probably R&S doing the discriminating. To log in to Digikey via PrivateInternetAccess I have to use an exit node in France. Canada used
    to work, but DK turned that off as well.
