IMO, the Tek 7000s are just wonderful. Everything a scope should be, especially if complemented by a Logic Analyzer. The 5000s not so much. -John I also have Tek 7000 and 5000 series analog scopes, along with a older Tek digital (Oh! - am I becoming a collector? :-). These

Hi John Not sure if this a response to my post or if the timing's just coincidence, either way I still contend the Rigols offer a lot of bangs per buck but that one still has to be very aware of the limitations. Never any free lunches, but the snacks are sometimes quite good value:-)

Please don't interpret what I said to mean that no 'scope is better than an asian one. Without question, any halfway capable product is far better than nothing. But, IMO, a high end (used) analog scope beats the newer mid range digital scopes. Furtheremore, if you really don't know what you're
