I know of two good recommended scopes one made by owon and the other made by rigol both the manufacturer's sites have no option to buy directly from them and I can't find any of there stuff on digikey. Does anyone know of any place to buy one of there scopes other then ebay as a friend of mine had a bad experience with ebay. OWON: http://www.owon.com.cn/eng/msoSeries.asp RIGOL: http://www.rigolna.com/products_ds1000.aspx |

NKC Electronics is selling Rigol equipment. They don't have Owon. http://www.nkcelectronics.com They also operate on eBay. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/NKCElectronics That black Owon is nice. Rigol should make another color version. Unfortunately there seems to be no reviews on that new Owon MSO series. |

Forgot about your friends bad ebay experience, try it yourself. Millions use it safely every day for things much more expensive than a Rigol scope. I and many others I know bought our Rigol scopes on ebay direct from China. Use common sense, pay by paypal, and you almost certainly won't get ripped off. Plenty of retails sell Rigol, Google turns up plenty: http://www.tequipment.net/RigolDS1052E.html http://www.testequipmentconnection.com/products/39901 http://www.globaltestsupply.com/c/221/Rigol_DS1052E_50MHz_Digital_Storate_Oscilloscope.html for starters.

And in my personal opinion more than average. So you have to be careful, and I don't agree with Dave that you should just ignore your friend's experience. Take it into account and think how likely it is you end up the same. Especially try to figure out where your friend went wrong. You didn't say where in the world you are located, that makes it difficult to recommend some local shop. But I can recommend a few other oscilloscope brands, in case you can get these from a place near you. * GW Instek, especially their GDS-1000A series (note the "A") * UNI-T (Unit Trend) UT 2xxx (multiple series). You can often spot them by their red case color, although they also offer them in a normal grey case. * Hameg. A German company. They are a bit of a traditionalist, still also doing some analog and mixed mode scopes. Low end (you get what you pay for) This stuff is somewhat at the Owon level or below: * GAOtek * Atten * JC( Hangzhou Jingce) * Tonghui * Tekway * Siglent * Ypioneer High-End (if you win the Lottery): * Tektronix * LeCroy * Agilent. Beware, their low-end scopes are supposed to be rebadged Rigols or similar * Yokagawa |
