I don't own any Siglent equipment, but the people who I know who do own some like it a lot.

I buy very little shop equipment new because I like to be able to repair it, thus I have a shop of mostly '60s to '80s Hewlett-Packard, General Radio, and Tektronix instruments.

My General Radio Type 805-C Standard Signal Generator does everything I could need in an AM generator because it has virtually the same specifications as the exciter in some older solid state broadcast transmitters.
