Not exactly for all frequencies, but at least to the limit the amplifier poses - and not if shorted, but if the diode would be removed. (The caps and resistors still present lowpass filters on both pin8 and 9, but this should be neglectible).

Well thats what i meant, obviously at some point due to the scope sampling rate and it circuit limitations there will be a maximum limit but a more natural one, it seems that the scope has been deliberately restricted
jgibson:
Even with the mod, this scope wouldn't be able to handle (due to BW) USB 2.0 (480mhz) eye diagram correct?
As I read that 1.5ghz of BW is need to get accurate USB 2.0 measurements.
Simon:
probablt not, the scope has a "bigge brother" capable of 100 MHz so it is the general concensus that the two are the same one but the 50 MHz version has had a limitation put on it

Thanks for the info, still a good deal for 100mhz.. just was hoping it met my needs.
Simon:
well we won't know until it is done, the scope samples 1GS/s (1 billion samples per second) in single channel mode so you have this to consider as well, with a 480 MHz signal that will be just over 2 samples per waveform, you will need at least 10 samples per cycle to acurately display the signal so thats 100 MHz although you may get way with a little more. There is also the actual limitations of the input circuitry
