Hobby good quality oscilloscope
wons:
Although there are many threads about it - i still cant figure out what oscilloscope to buy.
Im an engineer, worked mainly with keysight and tectronix equipment
I was hopping to buy relativly cheap oscilloscope for smps, vhf RF, and FPGAs
Although i found some options that their specifications answer my needs - though they were reviewd as toys not good for real lab use.
So the main requirements would be :
At least good for 200MHz
At least 8 digital inputs
Dicent screen and controls (usb scope will also be good)
Some level of channel OV protection
Basic functioning triggering
FFT function
Exporting plots to matlab
Hopefully 4 analog inputs
Also hopefully arbitrary function gen included
And im hoping to spend less then 1000usd

There are multiple threads on this topic. I try to make it short:
* It often does not make sense to buy 2nd hand quality brands (Tek, LeCroy, etc) on eBay because they are expensive for what they typically offer
* Rigol, Siglent offer very good bang per buck that exceeds 2nd hand offerings ^^
* Since you want at least 200MHz, the SDS2104X is probably the right thing for you. Search the forum how to "hack it" to higher bandwidth
* MSO5074 from Rigol can be an alternative
* happy reading https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-mso5074-or-siglent-sds2104x-plus/ (both have pros and cons)

We use old Hameg analog scopes , very cheap and reliable at ham raio fles and local PtoP sites.
Seldom had any use for digital inputs.
Word Rec is an otprion on some scopes.
Your specs will not be met by any one scope esp <$1k.
More realistic for "hobbyest"
digital scopes we preffer old Yokogawa DL/DLM series. But none os <$1K
Best classic analog scopes were Tek 2465B/2467B 4 ch analog but fly by waire.
Otherwise for <$1K you will find old Lecroy, HP/TEK but need fixing.
We have no clew on junk from China like sigalent, Rigol,
The Chines CCP fanboys will infomrm you.
Bon chance

My old recommendation:
Rigol MSO5074 (totally "licenseable") - 1.069€
Siglent SDS2102X+ (totally "licenseable") - 1.069€
If you can do 1.421€:
Siglent SDS2104X+ (totally "licenseable") - the best in the class "all-around bang per buck"
colorado.rob:
Note that for the Siglent scopes you still need to purchase an expensive (US$380) adapter to use the digital inputs. I have no experience with Rigol MSOs, but I think the same applies there as well.
