By the way, one more comment on Tek scopes .. I loved the 475, REALLY loved the 2465, but I can barely tolerate Tek's DSOs... Maybe I'm just to dumb to use them, but I think the menu structures in most of the Tektronix digital scopes are non-intuitive and obtuse. If you want a really neat digit

Poor John asked if he could use spectrogram as an oscilloscope, and that's morphed into recommendations to buy a 400 MHz scope! In my last job I was the video amplifier design guy, and in that role I designed video amplifiers to drive CRTs in high-resolution industrial computer displays. Over

I have a 475 with the DM44 option, and a scad of different probes. It is on "semi-permanent" loan from my company (they have no need for it any longer). I have never used the DM44, but what looks interesting is that it will measure temperature in degrees C. I have the temperature probe and w

Jim, AB4CZ gave you an excellent summary. If you think you'd like to use the 'scope for general bench work to look at waveforms, etc., on HF gear, then look for one with at least a 200 MHz bandwidth. Smaller bandwidth scopes are fine for a simple check on your transmitter waveform, but one of th
