In the market for a scope

[Toby Paddock]

Rob,
Well put. I guess I did come across totally negative on 
digital scopes. Plus I was ignoring all the good things 
they CAN do. 
And I bet floating the ground on your handheld is easy. 

Harry,
Yes! I've used a Fluke/Phillips hybrid scope. 
What a cool machine.

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.

I use a Fluke/Phillips hybrid scope at work. My favorite... like 
it even better than the TEKs. It has digital storage, but 
push a button and it becomes analog. Crude but excellent 
"sanity check". Make sure its real, then sample.
There is room for analog and digital !!!
