Title: Tektronix 2440
Post by: MikeK on May 19, 2012, 01:13:50 am

I found a Tektronix 2440 scope locally for under $200.  Should I bother?  I already have a Rigol DS1052E and would like to get an analog for my second scope, but this looked like a good deal.

Strange you don't see it is NOT an analog scope, slower DSO

Sorry.  I knew it's not an analog scope.  I meant is it worth having since I already have a digital?  The 2440 does have much more bandwidth.

Yeah sure ... the ADC sampling rate is hopeless
