I dont have any real problems with my handheld digital scope. You just
really have to know what you are doing/looking for and be able to set it up
as such.  Definitely *not* always the easiest thing mind you, but still its
better than having a huge scope sitting around on the bench.

Sometimes, you just have to set down and think a little more about what you
are expecting to see and *DO NOT* trust the stupid "autoset" buttons because
autoset usually causes more alarm than good.
