[Elecraft] O'scope recommendations

[Larry Phipps]

If portability is not required, you might also want to look at the Tek 
7000 series mainframes, and pick up a couple plugins. These tend to be a 
little cheaper than the 465, and you can replace a plugin cheaply if it 
goes bad. It also opens up the option of a spectrum analyzer plugin. 
That being said, I have both and tend to use the 465 most of the time 
(and leave the SA plugins installed on the 7000 series).

In general, I highly recommend buying solid state test gear from Tek and 
HP of the 70's and 80's era as opposed to newer gear of the same 
price... but beware some of it can be very difficult to fix if a 
mechanical part fails, like a ganged range switch for instance.
