It is limited but probably perfectly adequate for many amateur radio tasks. I like the idea of an Ethernet version and also the USB.
competition - For £1500 you can buy a Tek TDS2024B digital scope from Farnell in the UK. These are good value for money scopes. For £600 you can get a basic TDS1001B which could satisfy most people. The bitscope is about half as much, $600, plus tax. If price is a major factor and you can import it to VK easily it looks a good deal.
