The base model is the  same front end with the main board also with matching version codes / population

I did try to get to the other side as well but that proved to be a real pain in the ass so i changed my mind lol

They know they will sell a lot more 2104X Plus than 2204XPlus and nobody will buy a 2304X,its almost the same price than the SDS5034X.
Its simpler to have only one hardware.

You might want to open it up and see if the board is the same rev / same population of parts.. been some debate about these odd cases

Only what the annotation in the system info box concerns.

I was curious about the keygen in the first post and try it out just for fun ( my scope was unlocked "long" before), Input the scop id and press "Run".
And...
The keys are indentical to mine, nice thing.
May be nothing special to notice for others, but for me who didn´t have any knowledge in the programming/hacking things, it´s pure magic... ;D 8)

Hi

Long time reader, first time poster.

I've just received an SDS2104X Plus and done the dance to "upgrade" it to 500MHz (Thanks to those responsible for the method!). I've also entered keys for all remaining functions. This has worked fine except for the option ending _FG. In the key gen there is no reference to FG but there is reference to AWG. It seems no matter which key I try I can't get the _FG function unlocked.

I'm sure it's obvious, but what am I missing ?

Thanks

I didn't make it clear, although I did mention it, I have tried the AWG key but it is rejected every time.

I've solved my AWG key entering issue. The key was valid, but was being rejected. So for anyone who may be having a similar issue :-

When you first enter the options page the option type is pre-populated with the _FG option.
Entering the key without touching anything else fails.
What I did in the end was open the drop down and re-select the _FG option, then enter the key.
That worked.

So it seems that even though the _FG option was pre-populated it wan't necessarily selected.

Yeah this is a bug, i've seen it before now that you mention it so can confirm it

I had definitely touched FG a couple of times and Key entry was still failing for me.

If modded, but how much beyond model name? tv84 would most likely know

Wasn't able to use the 500M option, but oddly all of the other codes worked without issue.  suggestions?

Fat finger?

You can try the SCPI command MCBD

For whatever reason, I had to go 100M-> 200M ->350M ->500M.  Enter the bandwidth keys in that order.

I believe I saw on one of the hack scripts it mentioned that it does.
