What you have now is fully capable for these tasks and better than most and offering 500uV/div sensitivity. --- End quote --- I don't think he's considering upgrading. I think he means his Sgilent is the "expensive" scope. --- End quote --- $379 expensive ? :-// --- End quote --- It's all relative. Compared to a Hantek or a Fnirsi it is or even to lower end Siglents and Rigols. It's 10 times the price of a DSO154 Pro!! --- End quote --- Offering the same sensitivity and BW....nope ! |

You basically already did. To the tune of about $4K spent in the last 16 months. Just sayin' that there a lot of folks on the EEVBLOG forum to whom $379US is a lot of money. |

Also just saying. --- End quote --- I'm in complete agreement on this. However, in the extreme if all you have is $50 to buy a scope then a $50 scope is better than no scope. Think of it as a "gateway" instrument. The neophyte will learn some things and be able to visualize signals which will aid their progress in their electronics hobby to the extent they will eventually find themselves in need of a better instrument and understand the value in the purchase price. |

CRO's, I had a few and several Tek DSO's also, none of which can compare with modern DSO's of the last 5 or so years. |
