What is a good brand of probe that's easy to find in the US? --- End quote --- You can buy really good probes but they will cost more each than your scope. e.g. Probemaster, B&K Precision http://probemaster.com/4900-series-oscilloscope-probes/ You could try searching eBay for secondhand HP probes and hope to get good quality. See this thread for some ideas https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/suggestions-on-buying-scope-probes/ I assume you bought some P6100 type probes from Amazon? I would probably stick with them, as to improve on them you are looking at a quite a bit more money which may be better spent elsewhere (don't get me wrong, I love gold-plated Probemaster stuff...) Good luck with your scope - it sounds like you got a great tool to learn with at a great price. |

Per some prior advice, I tracked down an HP probe in great shape. Thanks all |
