Assuming I don't want to spring for a standalone scope, does anybody have experience with either OWON or Hantek? From the online reviews OWON seems a little better-regarded in terms of hardware. The OWON VDS1022i is the model I had in mind, or a Hantek 6022be One issue not raised in the original discussion on this thread was repairability of the standalone scopes. A $100 usb scope is accepted to be a throwaway if damaged. How fixable are the popular standalone instruments? I'm thinking about blown front ends, failed switches and simply getting dropped. There seems to be a wide range of cheap DSOs on the market, all from names I don't know and a few not met until yesterday: Rigol, FNIRSI, VEVOR, HANMATEK, Hantek and SIGLENT to name a few. Tektronix is still around, but at a price that needs justification which I probably don't have. Too bad, I got my start on the 500 series. Thanks for reading, and any ruminations you might have.... bob prohaska
