Spend what you save on beer or a gift for the one you love. --- End quote --- Hmm where did those 300MHz come from :-/O Can a DS1054Z do 300MHz wo. any hw mod ? /Bingo |

Frequency measurement is spot on (450MHz). |

And there have been better options out there for a long time. GW Instek 1054B for example. Similar price but much better compared to the Rigol 1054Z. |

It's a great little 'scope if you can get one for a good price (price is very variable by distributor/country). |
