[Elecraft] Oscilloscopes (WAS: spectrogram)

[Alexandra Carter]

Tektronix 475, baby! The 465 is OK, and the 485 a real 400MHz work of 
analog scope art I hope to own someday. Then if you're really serious 
you have a 7000-series mainframe and a lot of plugins hehe.

A really good tutorial on scopes is Tektronix's The XYZ's Of Using A 
Scope which they used to give out, now you can download it from the net 
and the recent versions have a bunch of stupid stuff about their 
digital scopes - they tell such beautiful lies, stick to analog.
