[sdiy] Choosing oscilloscope probes

[Justin Owen]

Hey all,

I've recently bought a 2nd hand Gould 2 x 20Mhz scope (very exciting!) - but I need to get a set of probes for it.

Rapid sells two models - is there a reason to choose one over the other? One of each? Two of one? Neither?

1) Switchable between x1 and x10: £10.78

2) x10 only - but with some different fittings (by the looks of it): £17.98

Obviously, it's mainly for audio and SDIY work - but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!,

Justin
