Hi Folks - sorry, I've been away from my PC for a couple weeks on vacation and this thread exploded. A couple comments:
1. Thanks Markus for the update. R&S is not known for abandoning products - I think everyone can feel comfortable that we will definitely continue to update them. We may just not move as fast as we'd all like (especially over the summer months).
2. I agree with Simon's comment - I appreciate the feedback (positive and negative), but lets try to stay on topic.
3. I find it intriguing that people keep comparing the RTB2000 to Keysight's x3000T and Tek's MDO3000. It was not targeted at that class, but I can see why it might be compared. And while you can option the RTB2000 up to ~$6,000 due to the 300MHz (no one would ever option it to $8K as you can save significant money with the package bundle versus buying each individual item for free), please keep in mind it also starts at $1,370 and has similar pricing to the 2000X and DPO2000 (while offering a 10-bit ADC, lower noise, touch, a much larger display, significantly deeper memory, etc). Because it has so much HW capability, I also definitely understand the desire to add more SW capability like advanced math (that even lower cost scopes have) and rest assured that feedback has been passed on.
Now that I'm back in the groove, I'll try to do a better job of keeping you all up-to-date and sending your feedback on to the factory team (although as you can tell they also read this thread too).
