Title: PP-150 scope probes
Post by: joeqsmith on September 10, 2018, 01:00:54 am
I just watched this video where they demonstrate a couple of low cost probes, including the PP150.  The video shows the SA at 10dB/div and the probe is all over the place.    There appears to be a few problems with their test setup.  The long ground lead for example.     

For a comparison, I used my 3589A to sweep the PP150 from 1KHz to 150MHz, 0.2dB/div, with the probe grounded at the tip.       

I am still very impressed with these $9 probes.
