Hi Bill:
I really like the Rigol carry case for the scope since it's a way to
keep all the bits and pieces together. So if you're shopping eBay look
for the combination package that includes the carry case. Deal Extreme
had the best price last time I looked. Watch the reviews linked on my
Rigol weg page done by EEVB.

Interesting that you should post this, Brooke. The local guy who was
going to sell me the TDS1012 got in touch and asked if I had looked at
the Rigol DS1052E. He's a buddy and was selling me the Tek at his
cost so no skin off his nose if I buy a Rigol--which he does not
sell. I've spent the last hour or so reading reviews and they are
uniformly excellent. So I think I'm going that way. The low screen
resolution will annoy me for a week and then I'll forget it. My needs
are not demanding and it should do just fine.
As to all the folks advocating 7xxx, 2xxx, etc. Tek scopes, I am
neither an EE or a technician and trying to keep a 20+ year old scope
running offers no allure for me. I don't like troubleshooting and I
don't do it efficiently, so...
Anyway, if you have time, give me a more detailed review of the Rigol
from your own experience.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill:
I too looked at the BitScope but went with the Rigol. It turns
out that Rigol DS1052E makes the low end HP scopes, i.e. they are
very high quality and fantastic value for the money. There's a
software hack to upgrade them from 50 to 100 Mhz. See:
http://www.prc68.com/I/RigolDS1052E.shtml
Also check out the EEVB blog videos on this scope linked on the
above web page.
Have Fun,

'morning, folks,
I was just on a verge of purchasing a Tek TDS1012 scope when a
friend
suggested that I could save a chunk of change by buying a
BitScope. Although
I've been aware of PC scopes, I never really looked into them.
The specs
look pretty good (the fact that I was looking at an
entry-level Tek will
give you some idea of my needs).
Anyone have any experience with BitScope or other of the
low-end PC scopes?
Thanks,
Bill
