Re: Opinion on 'scope selection


 

Hi Brad,
Don't plan on climbing ladders and the like - but the point of portability might be a consideration to negotiate for a second scope...e.g., the THS730A...as a back-up of course.

Did not consider data capture...hmmmm

Tnx OM,John

Speaking as a collector, with a collection that started in 2016 with a 475 (I'm not counting a forgettable modern DSO) and has since grown to twenty oscilloscopes and curve tracers, I suggest attempting to obtain all of them. ?

But assuming only one...
Hello--

A couple of questions: will you need to tote the scope

up ladders or many flights of stairs? That argues for lower weight and
smaller size.

Also, scopes with built-in data capture are convenient, but make sure
that you can find a

utility that runs? on your personal computer of choice.

Subject: [TekScopes] Opinion on 'scope selection

An opinion please.? A friend is offing me a choice of one of his Tek scopes: 453, 465B, 2236, 2246, 2445, 2445B, 2465, 2465A, and a THS730A.? His plan is to sell-off the inventory¡­he has a lot of ¡°stuff¡± and we have retirement.

We all know that a working ¡°A¡± is far better than a non-working ¡°B¡± and I have not evaluated the items yet but would like an opinion or two on which would be a ¡°preferred¡± for an experienced hobbyist.

Kind regards,
John
