My Russian is none too good, so Google translate had... um,... amusing results. earthen crocodile I assume is a grounded alligator clip. That reminds me of when our reports to Japan said the conductor was shorted and the translation was the conductor was not tall. My DS1052E should be here Wed and -- of course -- I have a late appointment Wed :-( Riko on eBay is having a "special" and told me to put $432 in the make offer box, so that was what I paid (free UPS shipping in the US). A little more than Deal Extreme, but they were back ordering and I'm betting the next scope from DX has unupgradable firmware. Yes, yes, that's speculation mind you. But the fact that DX told several of us "production has stopped" makes me think they are blowing out distribution with the special and then will start moving "locked" scopes when they start shipping again. Same think happened, I think, with the ZeroPlus Logic Cube logic analyzer. They made the FPGA ground all inputs not allowed for the model. Too bad I missed that one :-) |

Dave really has me sold on the capacity of this scope. I still use my old Trio 5 MHz analog scope I used in the 1980s. Can anyone confirm what Dave mentions in the video: That shipments of the Rigel are on HOLD, pending Rigel applying a firmware fix so it cannot be hacked into the 100 MHz version? :( |

I ordered from www.getbetterlife.com on the 9th and received it this afternoon (19th...10 days total, 3 in customs) to Canada. They had a large volume of stock when I asked so I suggest you try them. They are very cheap, $386 but you have to pay $53 for EMS shipping and it comes to about $414 CAD. Anyways they packed it very, very professionally in a lot of bubble wrap, Styrofoam etc. They are currently shipping 2.02 SP2. I tried the scope out and it seems to function perfectly, Have not tried hack yet, but since I don't have need of the 100Mhz I will hold off for a bit. Rigol and deal extreme may have stopped shipments but those re-sellers with back-stock may still sell them. Even though getbetterlife mostly sells tattoo and nail salon stuff they sell oscilloscopes as well haha....they were very responsive to my emails and seem pretty legit in my opinion. jump on it if you dont want to miss out |
