I have an HP1740A analog scope (from the 1970's) that is my workhorse. After 40 years in service it still takes a lick'n' and keeps on tick'n'.
Equally importantly, we 'understand' each other. If one doesn't learn to use a tool, understanding its idiosyncrasies and limitations, it's not worth buying it. That includes any piece of test equipment. Without that knowledge, the best gear will lead the user astray more often that help inform. So, being a touch lazy, I put making the jump to the latest and greatest until I see a specific need. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- A nice scope is sure fun to have around the old test bench. Perfectly good analogue scopes that cost many thousands 20 to 40 years ago are available for less than a penny on the dollar these days, and are more than enough for work on HF gear.
