I have one of those and I haven't been able to see RF signals on it
properly; it looks like my signals are drowned in noise. I have the
feeling that they are designed for "usual" LF electronics and the
circuit is too simple to do the proper signal conditioning. On the
other hand, it has open design (like elecraft), so maybe someone can
improve them :-)

I also have a Velleman PCS500A:

The scope itself is good with 50MHz bandwidth, but it comes with the
most crappy software I have ever seen, and Velleman refuses to release
programming info about the scope.
