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!

low power from an Omni D has me rethinking.  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.

what minimum-required scope would be.
