Re: [MBZ] $18 oscilloscope

Still probably beats paying hundreds of an old Tektronics scope that is made of unobtanium. It just won't work for UHF/VHF ranges. There has to be a way to build an adaptacator to feed UHF/VHF to it in a way it can understand. The expensive scopes all have ranges. OK Don via Mercedes
