o scope for someone starting out 200-400$

(1/10) > >>

mastershake:
what is the most up to date recommended unit in the say 200-400 (i think 400 is his max he can do maybe a hair more if its like 429 or something like that he is trying to get other stuff also and has to figure in the overall cost) price point for someone starting out. they have a really old o scope which works kind of lol. i have not bought one in a good while so im not up to date on the current models out there. ill be teaching them as we go as long as i can continue to (cancer has spread unfortunately so i never know how long i will have)

appreciate the feedback

james_s:
This has been discussed to death, nothing has really changed in the last 5 years or so, look for any of the threads on which scope to buy.

mastershake:
well then are there any brands more reliable then others currently?

If it helps I've been reading everything I can find and watched far too many YouTube videos. Conclusion, Rigol DS1054z with the 100mhz hack which is well documented and all the other extras are already unlocked now. Or the Rigol DS1104z Plus which is already 100mhz (no warranty breaking hack) and MSO ready (which to be fair most don't need or want or recommend really lol). If you can manage with 2 channels, then check out the Rigol DS1102Z-E, not sure how they can do it so cheap and when you check out the videos the Rigol always seem to come out best bang for the buck but there are cheaper options if you don't mind some crashing and small issues.
Just to say I'm not an expert, do your own research, just trying to save you getting  this headache and going round in circles lol.

Exactly the same unit as four or five years ago.

This isn't a world that changes much.
