Budget Handheld Scope
HighMans:
Hello all! What're y'all's recommendations for a cheap handheld scope? All I'm looking for is for something super basic that can plot voltage over time -- I'm mainly going to be using for diagnostics and repairing of electronics, I don't need any of the bells and whistles.

Here's a short intro/review of less than about 100us$ scopes:

It would be helpful if you could clarify your budget - peoples ideas of budget vary widely.
Also, any particular reason that it needs to be handheld?

"Diagnosing and repairing electronics" is a very broad topic, are you interested in working on low frequency things like audio gear and automotive electrical systems or are you working on microwave RF devices, or something in between?
As others have said, "budget" can vary widely, to some a $5k instrument would be considered low cost, to others that is high end and out of their reach.
The handheld requirement certainly limits the available options.

50-100$, I'm working with cars so having a large scope would be a bit unwieldy -- but it's not too big a deal.

I'm working with automotive electrical systems, laptops, consumer electronics, stuff like that.
