I have some end-of-year pressure to upgrade. I wouldn't mind a new (faster) oscilloscope with digital inputs. I have a 1054Z already and it's OK but not great, though was a good price at the time. I see some recent comments about MSO5000 series but I can't tell if the unlock to 350MHz is still possible on those? What about the 100MHz models? Thinking MSO5074 or MSO5104 (is there a hardware difference) assuming I can unlock as I did for the earlier models. Thanks! |

Finishing in a few days are the promos on a number of Siglent models for what firmly now fits in your price range is SDS2104X Plus reduced from $1400 to $1k and the 6 optional decodes bundled in. Sorry not in NA market. Further if you want LA/MSO capability the very nice SPL2016 16ch MSO probe and licensing and FG licensing for an additional $220. https://int.siglent.com/info/detail-63.html SDS2000X Plus is a 500 MHz design that even in my own investigations is very simple to unlock and many members here will attest to also. |

I bought a 2104-Plus MSO , just after the "Offer started" and have all options incl. 500Mhz enabled :-+ :-+ IMHO the 2104-Plus is best value for the money. Don't miss out on the Offer that expires Dec-31. The MSO probe is "extra" , but there is a DIY design on the forum. /Bingo |

We don't get that deal here for some reason, but there is no problem putting them in yourself. It's still a kick-ass deal though. Mine is working out very well. https://siglentna.com/news-article/sds2000x-plus-super-phosphor-oscilloscopes-promotions/ |
