[sdiy] Oscilloscope recommendation(s).

OK first. lets settle the BIG question

I'm 12/55

and you are...

second issue...

You DON'T change the signal generator, you interpret the Lissajous
(X-Y) patterns.  

If you change the signal generator, you have hosed yourself !!! :^P

If you set the signal gen for the midrange... its easy to interpret
+\- 2 octaves, which will give a decent calibration. You might go +/-3
if you have sine waves to work with.

I made a little text fixture to make my life easy(ier)... a board that
outputs a precision 1V, 2V, 3V ... reference.

I must say.. (although I have not done so yet) I am going to order a
blank
PCB from Paul for a VCO (if the deal is still on) and use that as my
reference oscillator to calibrate all other (and lesser) VCOs.

Please respond (on list or other) so we can quantify WHO gets to call
the
other "old man" :^P

If you are 12/55 respond off list. There is no need for the world <aka
spammers>
to know the ~exact~ dates   :^P
