<div>btw, Hantek also makes stand-alone cheap-ish scopes - which are quite okay, I once had one.</div>
<div>So I would trust at least the hardware of that Hantek USB DSO thing more than other such devices that are floating around...<br>
I saw a complaint about shortcomings of the software on that amazon page, but that was from 2012. As, when I had my hantek, I saw regular firmware updates, I would guess that they improved that USB DSO software, too, meanwhile.</div>

<div>Well, before you buy some perhaps dodgy DIY kit, you might as well buy something like this:<br>
</div>
<div>Hantek 6022BE</div>
<div><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hantek-HT6022BE20Mhz-Digital-Oscilloscope-Bandwidth/dp/B009H4AYII?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Hantek-HT6022BE20Mhz-Digital-Oscilloscope-Bandwidth/dp/B009H4AYII?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0</a><br>
<br>
A PC / USB based scope. Not as nice usability wise than a stand-alone scope.<br>
But at least it has some features... and it's nice that it has 20 MHz bandwidth (well, with 48MS/s I doubt 20MHz signals can be looked at nicely... but a few MHz at least).<br>
I would not like to be restricted to some scope that does only kHz even for audio. Why? E.g. because perhaps you'd like to make sure that your circuits do indeed output only hearing range frequencies.</div>

<br>
I definitely could not afford a $200 analog scope 20 years ago when I had 3 teenagers to feed.<br>
But I did find a 20mhz scope in a flea market that works great and it only cost me $20.<br>
<br>
I bought the cheap digital scope for KILOhertz audio frequency circuits.<br>
Its just a really good match for cash strapped newbies playing with electronics who are not<br>
straying into radio frequencies.<br>
<br>
I wish I had one of these 50 years ago.<br>
I would have learned a lot more about electronics.<br>

Spend 200 bucks on an old analog scope and sell it if you don't like it,<br>
or<br>
spend 200 bucks on a new digital scope and throw it if you don't like it.<br>
<br>
I know which alternative I'd prefer, and it's not just because I like<br>
old analog scopes. ;-)<br>

Buy a dual-trace analogue 'scope that will go to about 20MHz from someone near enough to go round and see it working. There's this online auction site that'll probably help there.<br>
<br>
Digital 'scopes are either hideously expensive or terribly limited.<br>
<br>
My 20MHz Iwatsu dual-trace is just about never switched off...<br>
