This week, join George KJ6VU, Jeremy KF7IJZ, and Alan W2AEW is they
continue their discussion on Oscilloscopes.Â* In Part 2, the conversation
shifts to focus on Digital Oscilloscopes and their uses.

Practical buying advice
Favorite models, why?Â* Price?
KF7IJZ: Â*Rigol DS-1XXX Z
Series: Â*https://www.rigolna.com/products/dig...copes/ds1000z/
Great community support from http://www.eevblog.com/forum/
I own a DS-1104Z-S
DS-1054Z is a steal at $400
KJ6VU: Â*Inexpensive Used Tektronix or HP Scope, Tektronix 465B
Rigol 1054z 50 MHz, can be software hacked to 100 MHz
W2AEW: Â*Used Tektronix, Hameg, Leader, Kenwood, Hitachi
Don’t buy a service grade scope!
Stay away from Vacuum tube models!
Tektronix 465, 475, 485
Tektronix 2215 (2200 series in general) 2225, 2400 series 2445, 2465
Make sure probes are rated for frequency or greater and make sure
compensation range contains the input capacitance of the scope
