Hey, nice work Dave! :->

Where did you buy your Rigol from? A quick search didn’t turn up in Aussie stockists.
-
Got mine on eBay, direct from China.
Emona are the Australia supplier.

You mention the new Atmel ATtiny chip … do you have any idea where to get one?
PS: Neat idea. Keep at it.

Hi, thanks for ur great vlog ! I’m a newbie and i see a TDS210 on ebay for ~350euros… you seems to know this model ? Do you think the Rigol is better ?
Thanks again for ur great job!Paul (from France)

Yes, I know the famous TDS-210.
It is an ancient model with a pretty horrible screen and a lousy 2KB memory, the first on the market with affordable 1GS/s sampling and small form factor. Fantastic for its day, but the market has moved on since then.
The Rigol beats it hands down in every category. You’d be crazy to buy a used TDS-210 instead of the Rigol.-
Really you would take it over a TDS210?
Even with the rumors of strange bugs in firmware and quirks?
The over clocking?The TDS is at least 60MHz vs. 50MHz.
People saying Rigol provides zero support.
You would still pick the Rigol?
Any idea why the TDS210 still sell for so much more money than a Rigol then?
I’m still on the fence if I should get it… or would a 54600 series with 100mhz be better, yes the single shot is only to 2MHz…

It looks like the ATTEN ADS1102 has twice the bandwidth, but from the specs the regular model seems to have only 4K of sample memory. The “M” suffix model has 2 megs of sample memory. This is not clearly stated on almost all eBay auction notices I’ve seen – I’m guessing these people are all selling the model w/4K sample memory
The ATTEN will withstand 400V pp input; important if you’re looking at vacuum tube equipment.

Hey Fernando,
Thanks for the information on the Volumerate.com website. The prices on the merchandise there is incredible! I only wonder if you got the Rigol scope from them and how long did it take to receive? Thank you!
