I'll third the Siglent SDS 1202X-E. It also replaced my Tek 465. Plenty of scope for my needs. Works well when working on a K2. 73, Rick W7LKG -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Dave Van Wallaghen Sent: Tuesday, December 8, 2020 17:08 To: Dave

I second the Siglent SDS 1202X-E. I bought one last year to service the Elecraft rigs that come through and it is more scope than I need but has some really nice features. A lot of scope for the money. Much smaller on my bench than my old analog Tek 465. 73, Dave, W8FGU On December 8, 2020

I have the Rigol DS1054Z and have found it to be very useful. One of the few things thing that bugs me is that it has no date/time clock so all the files you save have the same date/time stamp. Decide what features you want and check if they are included in the base price. Some of the scope

I bought a Siglent SDS 1202X-E at Dayton a couple years ago. I really like it. 200MHz dual trace, can control it and grab screenshots over the network, does all kinds of measurements automatically, even does decodes for a variety of serial data types. And it takes up far less room on the bench

So, I just (today) bought a used KX3. I've owned gobs of Icoms and Yaesu's, so the Elecraft controls are pretty foreign to me. I do own a K3 but have quite literally used it 3 times in the 6 or whatever years I've owned it. It's packed away. I've looked in the 2 books I've rec'd but it

Hi, I'm looking for a basic O scope for general HF ham use.  I figure 2 channels and 50+ mHz bandwidth.  A few years ago I got rid of my old CRT 30mHz scope figuring I'd get something more modern and compact.  I though USB, but I see full scopes are pretty cheap, $250 and up. I see some
