Well, I wanted to get a feeling about upper and lower limits, over a
19.7 octave range I had pretty good tracking. The thing was that I

Well, one learn to apprechiate these features the more one uses
them. The scope was bought to troubleshoot more or less digital
curcuits but this is what I use it for during the weekends ;)
