Playing with Probes: Guessing game.

I have a home made Z0 probe, but it's not made with very good cable. I guess I could try to make another.
jonpaul:
For a Zo probe, the BW and pulse abberation, transients response is of course à function of the cable impedance , discontinuility, legnth.
We,have,used Belden RG174 /U thin coax, 30..60cml.
The best cables are very WB coax like Belden 1694.
Tektronix made 50 cm précision 50 ohm coax BNC
See tektronix probe circuit books

and Belden Cable app notes,and specs.

Anyone know if the Hantek - PP-300 is legit or some knock off?
The Hantek website only lists up to PP-200 and I don't think they have scopes above 250Mhz.
Although they do have PP-250's in some of the screenshots of the 250Mhz scopes so maybe they just haven't updated it.

I ordered mine off Amazon.ca. They came in exactly the same packaging as the probes I got with my Hantek USB scope. None of them have Hantek written on them or on the "documentation" that came in the pouches. If you ask me I think Hantek just buy whatever from whoever. I don't think they make probes.

The PP-150 I got with my DSO2C10 does have Hantek written on the documentation, the documentation covers PP-80/150/200. But the probe itself just has PP-150 on the sticker, no Hantek branding.
It's also a gray version (Hantek lists PP-XX0 and PP-XX0B with the B being the black version's). My one didn't come with a grounding spring (intentional as the documentation had no mention of one). I think the higher spec ones, (or maybe the black ones) do come with a grounding spring though. I think 150Mhz DSO2X15's come with black PP-200's since they need more bandwidth.
I recently have ordered a PP-250 from Aliexpress, not yet arrived. I don't really have a good way to test them myself (and don't really have the knowledge). I'll see if there is any branding or not (not that really means much coming from Aliexpress).

Wouldn't surprise me.
But I would be skeptical about a cheap unbranded PP-300 probe really being 300Mhz though. They might all be PP-60's rebranded and sold at different price points.
