Hey guys! I'm shopping for an o'scope (cause the purchase is long overdue).
I thought that modern digital 'scopes would be ok, but they mostly have 8bit amplitude resolution (which concerns me) and their quality is somewhat suspicious. I have a feeling that they are much like digital consoles. Cheap ones are just plain crap, and good ones cost unwholy amount of $$$$.
I'm started looking at Tektronix 2445 'scopes and liked them a lot. They are somewhat expensive here but I believe I can afford that. The only thought that comes to mind is that 2445 maybe somewhat an overkill.
What do you guys think? Maybe some other suggestions? And when checking an used analog 'scope, what are common check procedures?
Thanks everybody for the input!
