Been on the market for a new scope (my poorly calibrated 20mhz analog's pots and switches are getting spotty). I had looked at the Rigol C or D series previously, but held off. Course, when I saw this, I had to act (before Rigol updates the firmware or releases a new model). Picked up my 1052E from MIB Tools for a bit over $400 USD shipped EMS to Canada. Arrived last night. Had no DB9-DB9 serial cable on hand since all I had were DB25s. Gave up on finding one, scavenged a few old serial mice and put together a 3-wire serial cable. Now enjoying my DS1102E. Thanks all, D. |

If it's Hong Kong dollars the prices are almost too good - any catches? Thx G |

Crikey, it'll take me ages to go through all these back posts and stuff! Anyone got a pointer to the exact method used? Thanks Dave. |

KTP's summary is pretty good: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=30.msg3010#msg3010 3-wire serial at 9600. Note that you can use your serial number, just change DS1EDxxx to DS1EBxxx D. |

I'd *strongly* suggest emailing them directly for a better price or making an offer through ebay. They were pretty quick to match DealExtreme's EMS shipping price (which according to a forum post has been out of stock or slow to ship for a while). They also sweetened the deal with a free gift...a USB card reader. Wheeeeee..... :P Cheers, D. |
