[Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

On my bench is a  Rigol DS1202CA 200 MHz/2GSa/s  scope.  It replaced a
Tektronix that burned out it's EL backlight supply.  The Rigol is a great
piece of test equipment and it's pretty evident they had several Tek scopes
to play with during the design process.  While this is a Chinese scope, it
is obvious that quite a bit of western development went into it.  On the
front there is a USB connector for a thumb drive and on the back a USB-B for
direct computer connection sans HPIB interface. (the driver on the PC
emulates HPIB)  This is a two channel scope with an external trigger and it
comes with a pair of pretty good probes.   I have also had very good luck
their customer service. Price is right around $1200, and they do have less
expensive 100 MHz versions.  We have a few of their spectrum analyzers which
for the money cant' be beat.
