Thought I might add that you should consider probes when you buy.
Decent ones can be hard to find cheap if they don't come with the
scope. For a dual trace obviously you need two.

Also, I would be interested to hear from others about differential
probes. I am about to go to the extreme (for me) of making one coz
I can't find s/h. My dual trace scope has an xy function but no
scalar addition. Does everyone have a diff. probe, and if not, how
do you manage without? Or is it usual for dual-trace scopes to
include diff. operation?

I think my ex-school 1Mhz scope is sufficient. I don't need to see
higher frequencies. I can measure them with my voltmeter.

cheers, Ian
