[Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?

TAC and listeners...

I have had a small PicoScope for several years. It works very nicely as 
advertised. The higher-class PicoScopes were out of my $/need bracket.

If you don't mind bulky and heavy hardware, eBay is not a bad place to 
look for old and honorable Tektronix scopes (but finding the "storage" 
function in one of these boat-anchors might be problematic).

About Chinese test instruments, I would say that my experience has been 
quite negative...best to consider only a model that someone else says is 
OK, or even usable. A HF signal generator that I bought was so unstable 
that it was even difficult to find the signal from it with a 
communications receiver. Fortunately, the vendor accepted a return.

Good luck!
