pick between Tektronix TDS1012 or hantek dso5102p
« on: August 20, 2021, 08:52:15 am »
I might be able to choose between Tektronix TDS1012 or hantek dso5102p.
the hanteck is almost new the Tektronix is in used condition. good physical condition. the hanteck is 200 power up legit but do not know about Tektronix as they can be hacked to show zero (it showing around 200 anyway).
they both come with 2 original probes and a power cable. I'm having a hard time deciding which one to pick.
appreciate any insight and reasoning why you might have to choose one or another.
thanks

Even though some people are ready to pay for TDS1012 as much as for a modern low end scope, IMHO It's not worth even $100. It's just an obsolete instrument which wasn't that good to begin with. Hantek often makes a reasonable hardware but software side usually sucks a lot. Dunno how good dso5102p is with latest firmware though.

200 what, MHz? Hacked to show zero what?
At what price they are offered? Maybe none of them is worth it.

Power Cycles.   The scope keeps track of the number of times it has been powered on.
