I have a couple of questions regarding an oscilloscope purchase and hope to have some help from you good people before I put some money on the table. I just recently started to look into repairing TVs and have noticed a lot of people saying that an oscilloscope is a vital tool in the repair process. My issue is that I really know close to nothing about them, and this is what scares me some what.
Well first of all I was told if I was going to buy one not to buy anything lower than 100Mhz. First, is that a good rule of thumb on an oscilloscope? Also what's the difference (other than price) of one that's 20Mhz or 400Mhz and everything in between. Also, is there anything else I should be looking out for when picking out my purchase.
Now with price being in mind, what do you think would be my best deal on an oscilloscope. I would like to stay under $200 or right in the area of $200.
Last but not least, to anyone who has taught themselves how to use an oscilloscope is there anything that helped you learn the operational process that you would be willing to share (such as links, PDFs, any kind of digital media) or if you can give any tips that you have found to be rather useful.
Thank you everyone!!!!! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and wish you the best new year!
