Despite having access to our entire scope portfolio, for several years I actually used an RTB for my everyday scope needs: it's small, quiet, and simple.
I now mostly use an MXO4 (in part because I'm developing content around it), but for basic "poking around and looking at signals," the RTB was more than sufficient.

It depends a bit on what you are doing; I wouldn't call the RTB2004 simple. For embedded development the protocol decoding and integration of digital channels is super useful and well implemented.

I wonder what would happen if R&S slashed the price of the RTB2000 to entry level pricing?
They could probably do it given the NRE would be well and truly taken care of.
That would leave the RTC1000 flaping in the breeze of course, but still, it would be interesting.
As others have said, it's a very capable and nice scope.

Just a shame the UI is so sluggish, more so that the RTM is no better.

Hi everyone
I purchased my RTB2004 COM4 late December 2019. After about 1 1/2 to 2 years, I had 2 probe cables rolled up next to my scope. When I picked them up to use, I noticed a small puddle under the cables, wondered what I spilled there. Turns out the cables leaked this spot on my bench, which is vinal covered. I wiped them down but this continued. About a year ago I packed up my gear for a move and just recently pulled out my scope. When I removed the probe cables found this happed again. My warranty is past, that's my fault, but decided to call Rhode and Schwarz support to inquire about this. No one there had ever heard of this(came with RT-ZP03). Support took some information but I doubt it will lead anywhere. I've never had this sort of problem with any other probes or cables for any device or equipment. Has anyone else ever experienced this, silicon leaking? While the probes seem to function fine, not too crazy about the situation. Can anyone recommend a different set of probes that would work well with this scope. Other than that, not perfect scope by any means, non are, but I like it otherwise, suits my needs.
Appreciate your thoughts
Thanks much

I have RTB2002 for about 3 years and his 2 RT-ZP03 never show any sign of any leakage. They are perfectly dry. Maybe external causes? Proximity with some flowers, herbal decorations?
