You would be correct. I guess I'll just live with it until I can afford a nicer scope.

I'm sorry, which images are you referring to? The calibration images are set to the appropriate coupling.

I don't see anything super exotic in the calibration procedure, I'd probably just have the thing calibrated rather than replace the whole scope, assuming there's nothing serious wrong with it.

The images in Reply 5 which are purported to show AC Coupling but the image shows DC Coupling.  I think...

The first one is AC and the second is DC.
