[Elecraft] Scope recommendations

[Don Wilhelm]

Ron and all,

A dual channel, triggered sweep (with sweep delay) analog 'scope is the best
for all around ham work - including most of the digital tasks we may
encounter, a good storage scope, preferrably digital, is the only thing
usable for some tasks - like looking at the initial turn on response of a
power supply output, for instance - or some other very slowly reoccurring
events.  But as you have already said - they have artifacts of their own.  I
don't think I have ever heard it better stated than by one of my
professors - 'The engineer who believes his storage 'scope without question
is a fool!'  I have found him to be right on several times, those 'scopes
can show strange things to you.

73,
