Thanks Tautech. I see you're in NZ, do you know local Aussie suppliers (who frequent this forum) or where I can get a deal in Australia? (Or can you ship here?)
I put in an order for a SDS2104X Plus yesterday from AppVision. They are running an EOFY sale at the moment, 15% off using a code.
How do these compare side by side with similarly spec'd Tekronix and Keysight/Ag ?

But performance wise tho ? What's much different ? Maybe the input noise ? Or ??

But yeah, I guess it's hard to compare them. IDK any modern TEK/HPAC scopes anyways
Is 25000 USD Tek series 6 scope better than best in 2000 class 1200 USD scope from Siglent... ??
Well, it better be...
I'll have to look for a side by side review of some. Not that I'm ever planning to buy a modern Tek/HPAK, too expensive.

I own the SDM3065X, I would love too see that side by side with some other 6.5D meters.
In reply to a few that have asked for WiFi capability for these scopes....
In another thread member Peter_O pointed us to a TP-Link device used in Client mode with his SDS2000X Plus where it accesses any local WiFi access point and provides an isolated (secure) LAN and WiFi connection.

Scroll down to #4 Client mode.
Although it can be USB powered specs say 2A so what a scope USB port will think of that I'm unsure.
Nevertheless one is on my shopping list to evaluate.....
Regarding the problem of SDS2000X Plus connecting to WIFI, I have a cheap and simple solution: buy a TL-WR802N mini router, the price is 12 US dollars, use the client mode, and connect the oscilloscope with a network cable. At this time, the router is equivalent to a wireless network card.Fantastic little device.
Just got mine working and it's totally invisible to your devices when in Client mode.
However when looking locally for one they were nothing like 12USD and I succumbed to one from Aliexpress.
Well I paid for that in that the configuration UI was in Chinese with no apparent way around it but with a lot of Copy/Paste into Google Translate I finally got the thing to work.
Advice to westerners, get a English UI model so to not be confronted with this:
There is a good amount of configuration required and done in Access Point mode before change to Client mode and all of which would be so much easier if you can read Mandarin.
Nevertheless I got it to work in the end so carrying equipment that normally requires a wired LAN connection to your network for remote access is no longer required.
Tests with SDS1104X-E (yes I do have the USB WiFi dongle too) with NTP time server and a SVA1000X analyzer/VNA, both connected to an iPad just fine and each of them communicated with our WiFi router DHCP for IP addresses fine also demonstrating TL-WR802N is invisible to devices that connect to you LAN via it.
Tek and Keysight OTOH are actually seriously outmatched in this segment even comparing to very entry level SDS1104X-E...
