[Elecraft] PC Scope

[AD6XY]

It is limited but probably perfectly adequate for many amateur radio tasks. I
like the idea of an Ethernet version and also the USB.

competition -  For £1500 you can buy a Tek TDS2024B digital scope from
Farnell in the UK. These are good value for money scopes. For £600 you can
get a basic TDS1001B which could satisfy most people. The bitscope is about
half as much, $600, plus tax. If price is a major factor and you can import
it to VK easily it looks a good deal.
