Why is my oscilloscope showing a signal?
StillTrying:
With only 2.5 samples per division and in dots mode, and going by its large amplitude for that high a frequency, is that 84MHz real or could it just be an aliasing effect. :-\
...I'm going for aliasing. :popcorn:

It may even be half that. Isn't the 500Ms/s divided between the two channels? If so, each trace gets 1.25 samples per division. Or does the scope sample one trace on each pass and alternate between them? I remember old analog scopes that did that.
tautech:
Change Trigger Holdoff to Close (minimum). (press the button)
Remove Ch2 probe, is the signal still there ?
If yes, then one by one turn OFF ever other thing within some meters proximity.
Wallwarts and anything running SMPS are notorious for EMI.
Careful elimination will find the culprit.

What's the 84.11MHz 5Vpp signal like on 500 and 250ns/div.

Last time I had something like this it was a "Baby Monitor" on the other side of the wall, in the room next door.
