You really should give some indication of price range you are interested in and what you want to use it for. Scopes go from less than $300 for a minimal usable desktop to over $335,000 for the Tektronix DPO73304SX. And I'm sure you can spend more than that if you want to.
- ollran 5y agoOh sure. It's for hobby projects: reverse engineering and building electronic devices. Price range is somewhere between $300 and $1000.
- rzzzwilson 5y agoI'm an amateur radio operator and dabble in microcontrollers generally and also specifically for amateur radio projects. I use a 100MHz 4 channel digital scope, a Rigol DS1054Z. I'm not recommending that one as it's a bit old now and you may be able to get newer scopes with more bang for the buck, but you probably want something similar or better in terms of specifications. For example, if you want to look at RF frequencies higher than 50MHz you probably want a 200MHz scope. Even if you think you don't need 4 channels get 4 anyway. When you need more than 2 your really need more than 2! Resist the urge to go up market for your first buy. You don't really know what you want from a scope until you've used one for a while.
