I have been wanting to get an oscilloscope for a long time but I have now come to the point where I need one. Since money is an object I do not want to spend any more of than necessary but I want to get something that I can depend on when I need it.
At first I was looking at old used Teks on Ebay but I have enough stuff to repair as it is so I decided my best bet would be to get a new one with a warranty.
I have narrowed my choices down to two models although I am still open to suggestions. My initial choice was the Rigol DS1102E for $399. I am now leaning toward the Owon SDS7102 at $429. I am leaning toward the Owon for several reasons: Screen size and resolution, memory depth, and the fact it can operate on battery power. I know this model had problems in the past but it is my understanding that most of these issues have been resolved since its' introduction.
Before I go spending this kind of money on a piece of equipment, I wanted to get some input on what I should buy.
Thanks.
