Temtec seem to be gone. They used to be in the city, had a fairly comprehensive catalog, and could also get things that weren't in the catalog. Now they're somewhere out in the woods and sell what looks like leftover stock of exotic parts. Ah, scratch that. Now their domain has expired, too.

I asked Electro Tools for a quote a few months ago, and the price they gave me was roughly what it would cost to import (with taxes, customs fees, etc.) two scopes on my own. So I did (just getting one, though).

That said: If you like leather seats and have the money then go ahead and tick it. The next step up (eg. Ford Focus) is a big step so you might as well get some options for your Fiesta.

Just realize you're not upgrading to a huge SUV (or Mercedes Benz, depending on taste) when you tick the "Siglent" box.  :popcorn:

I hear all that except I don't care for Ford at all. ;)

Okay. So here's the question then: what would you consider the proper next step up if I want something actually better? Keeping in mind that higher bandwidth means little to nothing for my use.

Thanks,
Josh

If you want four channels it gets expensive real fast.

If you want two analog + one digital channel, there's this:

GW Instek MSO2000 series or the R&S RTB2000 series. Personally I wouldn't buy any of Keysight's current oscilloscope offerings because the memory is too small. You'd think 4Mpts ought to be enough but that 4Mpts is shared so you are left with 500kpts with the digital channels on.

R&S make really nice oscilloscopes.
