- Russell, If you look around, you can find a 50-60MHz scope for $150-200 in good working shape. It may not have a good set of probes and they will cost you maybe $25. 50MHz is the minimum scope I woul

- russell, Jerry is right. Let me toss in a few words here. Depending on what you're planning to do with the scope, you can use a cheaper 20 mhz to 40 mhz scope with great success and a lot less money.

- Russell, There is no better way to troubleshoot a rig than with a scope. The fact is, almost any scope will do. In our most recent case, the signal we were tracing was at 9 MHz. In HF, worst case you

- Many repairs can be expedited with a scope and an RF probe for it so the scope can basically cover audio. Better would be at least 20 MHz scope coverage, so it could measure low ham bands. Better sti
