[sdiy] which oscilloscope?

[David Ingebretsen]

I bought a Velleman USB scope, PCSU1000. 2 channel, 60 MhZ, 8 bit. It also
has a spectrum analyzer, transient recorder, and there is a companion
function generator you can use to do frequency response, etc. You can have
it display a lot of different waveform parameters like CD mean, max, min,
peak to peak, frequency, duty cycle, phase, period AC RMS, dBV, etc. I've
been very happy with it. I find it to be comparable to the PicoScope line,
but more economical. If you can live with the 8 bit resolution, it's a nice
scope.

Hi,

I checked the archives but the last post was in 2006 and not totally
conclusive for my uses.

What oscilloscope would you recommend? To be honest I'm not sure what
I'll use it for but I frequently come
across projects I'd like to do what recommend one. Mainly synth-diy
stuff. Also have lots of older gear that
could use a tune-up I'm sure (though it appears it is debatable if a
oscilloscope is perfect for tuning VCO's).

All advice for new or good used units appreciated.

Thanks.
