Better throw My Brymen 786 in the garbage then as I do use it on the mains and it has several current ranges. :scared:

They have a feature called TekSecure. Basically, you hit a button, and it erases all data that has been saved to it. It's useful if the scope contains sensitive information. I'm there must be some way to that on the Siglent, and maybe I'm blind, but I have not found it.

Would a LeCroy T3DSO2000A be acceptable instead ?
Maybe you recognize them:

I don't think anyone here would be thrilled if they knew what they were.

Warranty looks nice as long as you a professional working for a company. Hobbyists need not apply.

Last time I contacted Siglent via their web page I had a call back in 2 hours. With Korad it was next day, but they both stayed on teh case until we resolved my issues.

--- End quote ---
The Korad issue required parts. They shipped them to me from China in 3 days. The Korad PS was under $300. It was out of warranty so I had to pay for the new mainboard. $40.

--- End quote ---
Well, they do offer products that should be a whole lot cheaper in order to be competitive.
