[TenTec] OT: Scopes

[Dave Edwards]

Having worked for HP/Agilent, you'd think I'd be pushing one of them...or a Tek version. If you can find a nice one...great!  But I gotta tell 'ya....the cheap Chinese ones are now lookin pretty darn good. LCD displays, and ability to save an image as a .jpg on a thumb drive!   If I was suddenly scope- less, (and every ham needs a scope)....I'd be looking at one!

Most of the gear I own now old, have managed to diagnose problems without owning a scope.  In one case, the problem with an old hollow-state receiver was found by poking around with a wooden dowel to expose a poor solder joint.  My main concern is spending more money on a scope than my shack is worth, or alternately spending more time fixing a used scope than is warranted.
