I think 2 should be ok based on my tests so far. And yeah, the base model should do just fine, although I grabbed the 25MHz one just to have more bandwidth if I need it for something else.
The seller has come back to me and it sounds like he¡¯s going to do the right thing, apparently his kid packed it up for him trying to help out and left the foam out. Shit happens, but he genuinely seems to be trying to sort a replacement so I¡¯ve got to give him points for decency.
