<div dir="ltr"><span class=""><span style="font-size:12.8px">I've been looking into buying an oscilloscope as I'm venturing into territory where I'll need to calibrate oscillators on some MFOS projects. I've read Ray Wilson's recommendations on a scope, and appreciate his
advice on spending the money on a good scope as an investment. But, I'm having trouble pulling the trigger on anything more than this OWON scope on Amazon: </span>

<div>Since I'm really a newb, I was wondering what I could get that will work just fine on more of a budget. Is LabNation worth a closer look? </div>

<div>If being cheap in the short will just cost me money in the long run, please advise. I'm just looking for a scope that will be reliable with modular kits. The more money I have to build kits with, the happier I am.</div>
