Oscilloscope Recommendations

[Mark Graalman WB8JKR]

  I agree. Actually the Heath IO-4550 is a decent triggered
sweep scope that is rated for 10 Mhz, but still triggers well
at over 20 Mhz. Anyway, these can be found for usually
about $30-$50.00
 I have the 35 Mhz IO-4235 here and find it to be an
excellent unit, these can be had for about $100-$150.00
 And with the Heath unit there is a slight chance you may
be able to service the unit yourself.
