[sdiy] Owon scope oddity...

Its not just the oscilloscope.  x1 probes also have a much narrower 
bandwidth due to the capacitance Robin mentioned.  For example, looking 
at the ProbeMaster 3900 range, the x1 probe has a 26MHz bandwidth, the 
x10 probe has 100MHz bandwidth, and the switchable x1/x10 probe has 
10MHz at x1 and 100MHz at x10.
