For a 30 MHz o'scope, you can get by with a lot less probe than for,
e.g., a 400 MHz o'scope.
Assuming you don't want to purchase used Tek or HP probes via E-bay or
whatever, you could look at ProbeMaster http://www.probemaster.com/.
Take a look at their 3900-series probes. In your case, I would probably
go with a switchable 1X 10X probe as there are times when the extra gain
of the 1X mode is useful.
These run $38 so they are not overly expensive.
Agilent and Tektronix both have excellent o'scope tutorials on their web
pages. (You may have to search around a bit, but they are there.) Also,
you should read their tutorials on scope probes to understand why it's
important to have a proper probe, not just a piece of coax with an
alligator clip on the end. http://www.agilent.com/ and
http://www.tek.com/ are the starting points.

Budget a decent set of 10X probes if not included.
I have a B&K-1479A 30mhz scope.
I really am clueless in it's usage.
I plan to use it to help teach myself by trying some hf home brewing.
Could the group please point me to an online catalog number for an
appropriate probe for this o-scope?
TIA
