Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?
Thanks Jack the eevblog was very helpful. Exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I appears the USB scopes are somewhat lacking in the samples/sec dept. Looks like I'm going with a deskstop, 100mHz, 1 GSa/s, 2 channel.

Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?
By the way, one thing I liked about the Owon vs. Rigol is that it has an 8" screen. I think the inside electronics is the same. One thing is that it 's more expensive. 73, Jose-W2JD On Sep 24, 2012 7:00 PM, "Brian Denley" wrote: > Or look at the new scopes from Owan, Rigol, Atten, etc. Amazing prices on > these Chinese scopes. > > > Brian KB1VBF > > Sent from my iPad > > On Sep 24, 2012, at 8:16 AM, Jim Wiley wrote: > > > > > TAC - > > > > > > You might consider purchasing a used model.

Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?
Paul, I own an Owon 100 MHZ. 2 MPS scope and find it very nice. The model is SGS8102-VGA. I bought it from Saelig.com, they sell Rigol, Owon, and many other test equipment manufacturers. I look at the RF from my station with a Bird 4873-020 Coupler, it can be varied to get up to 70 dB. attenuation. If you figure that a KW is 60 dBm., you can adjust it so you get a mW (o dBm) out. That's an RMS value of .0.223 Volts. The scope can handle it. I want to use it full time as a Monitor Scope, but it also does FFT, so you could use it to look at your spectrum. By the way, it comes with a VGA output, USB ports, and LAN. This model with the VGA port runs $599, the one without it runs $529. I haven't even touched on all the features it has (due to all the digital controls) but it's easy to start working with it, if you have worked with HP and Tek scopes, either analog or digital. I use to have a Tek 475 in my bench all the time. 73, Jose W2JD On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 12:19 PM, Paul Saffren N6HZ wrote: > On my bench is a Rigol DS1202CA 200 MHz/2GSa/s scope.

Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?
On my bench is a Rigol DS1202CA 200 MHz/2GSa/s scope. It replaced a Tektronix that burned out it's EL backlight supply. The Rigol is a great piece of test equipment and it's pretty evident they had several Tek scopes to play with during the design process. While this is a Chinese scope, it is obvious that quite a bit of western development went into it. On the front there is a USB connector for a thumb drive and on the back a USB-B for direct computer connection sans HPIB interface. (the driver on the PC emulates HPIB) This is a two channel scope with an external trigger and it comes with a pair of pretty good probes. I have also had very good luck their customer service.

Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?
TAC and listeners... I have had a small PicoScope for several years. It works very nicely as advertised. The higher-class PicoScopes were out of my $/need bracket. If you don't mind bulky and heavy hardware, eBay is not a bad place to look for old and honorable Tektronix scopes (but finding the "storage" function in one of these boat-anchors might be problematic). About Chinese test instruments, I would say that my experience has been quite negative...best to consider only a model that someone else says is OK, or even usable. A HF signal generator that I bought was so unstable that it was even difficult to find the signal from it with a communications receiver. Fortunately, the vendor accepted a return. Good luck!

Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?
I would lean toward the 2200 or 2400 series Tek scopes rather than the 400 series. I have had some 400 series with difficult to solve main attenuator issues (volt per division). Not that all of them have it, but several I had, did. The later series, 2200 2400 seemed more reliable.

Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?
TAC - You might consider purchasing a used model. I have an older Tektronix TDS-200 60 MHz digital scope, and it works very well for me with ham radio related issues. All things being equal, I would have preferred the 100 MHz version, but 60 MHz was what I could afford at the time (I purchased the instrument new). However, since then, there has been a goodly selection of competent instruments available from eBay and various instrument suppliers, such as Tucker electronics. Do a Google search for used / reconditioned test equipment. If you make your purchase from a company that refurbishes such instruments, they will usually offer a 90 day or longer warranty. 2 channel operation should be enough for whatever you will need. I have 4-channel capability in a Tek 7603 series analog scope, but have yet to have a need to use it. Some models of digital scopes include a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) function that will allow you to use the instrument as a spectrum analyzer for signals that are within it's bandwidth capabilities. Interesting features of digital scopes: The ability to display a waveform, and simultaneously see frequency, P-P, RMS, values in digital form. Also the ability to change the sweep speed after the fact, expanding or compressing the vertical and horizontal scales after the signal has gone. Very useful for analysis of one-shot phenomena. Good luck with your purchase. - Jim, KL7CC On 9/24/2012 3:40 AM, TAC wrote: > I've decided to spring for a new digital storage oscilloscope and thought I'd > solicit some opinions on how much scope I really need for general > electronics and ham radio. 2 or 4 channel, 100 or 200 Mhz, memory buffer > size, etc?Anyone using the PicoScope?

Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?
It all depends on what you're trying to do. Truthfully, since you're asking for suggestions, I wouldn't spend too much on it unless you have a specific application in mind. In the almost 20 years I've been a ham (and tinkerer), I've owned three scopes. Two of them were freebies (10 and 40 MHz bandwidth, respectively) and the third, which I still have, is a Tektronix 464 100-MHz analog storage model that I bought for a reasonable sum. I didn't need the 464, but I had money burning a hole in my pocket and one came along. I really can't imagine a ham application where you would *need* a more than 100-MHz scope. So, pick the 100ish-MHz scope with the portability, number of channels, brand reputation, etc, that you want. If I can't afford nice things new, I usually choose to buy used things that were good when they were new. Just one opinion, though... 73, --Ethan, K8GU/3.
