Perfect price/quality ratio			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
If you ever plan to buy a second-hand scope, try this brand. This digital scope works very well. With it's 25MHz bandwidth and 100Msamples/second it does everything you need. The built-in features are really good! Pro's: - Price (250 euros !!!) - Complete: with probes, powercord and USB-cable - Battery-option LiPo (not too expensive) - Quick startup of 5 seconds - Easy setup, no manual needed - Good layout of all functions, no Chinese crap - Great math-functions like add, substract and FFT (!) - Cursor - Auto-measure of V, F, period etc. - Auto-set works truly good - Video-trigger built-in for all standards - Remembers settings after rebooting, no need to re-set everything - Auto-calibration removes a lot of own noise, works great - XY-function is very good, ideal for adjusting probes - Lightweight and compact, fits everywhere - May fit between 19" rack, has no handles ofcourse Mediums: - Knobs and buttons feel quite good, not cheap and not Tektronix - Housing feels al littlebit too plastic-ish, but it's alright Con's: - Display viewing-angle is not large but it'll do - V/div only goes to 5V, not higher (unless you use a 1:10 probe, it adjusts) - USB-connector is strange: type-A but it works - Software is only good for screenshots (which it does well) Alltogether, this scope does more then you can expect for this price. I bought a battery and carrying-bag so total price is about 350 euros, still less than the cheapest Conrad-scope and way better. Especially the math-functions, the possible slow speed of 100s/div (great for current-measurements), the auto-set and measuring are very nice and easy to use. This model may have FFT, depending on the firmware. This FFT works very good in the audio-range, very good for checking response. I didn't test it's quality on higher spans (you can go to 10MHz/div, but I doubt it works). The last option that is quite handy, is the internal storage of up to 4 waveforms. You can save it and leave it in the screen to compare it to future measurements. I give it a 4 and not a 5 because it is Chinese and thus not perfect. But, I would have given it a 5 because of the price. Well okay, this 4 is a 5 worth but the 5 is saved vor Tek etc.
