Excellent information on scope selection! I purchased the Siglent SDS 1102CML+ and I'm very satisfied with the performance! Great job, Eddie! Thanks!

Owon now has a 100 MHz scope that is at a great price;

There is now an Owon that might be #1 because of specs and low cost - see link.

Yay! I made second place. All the hanteks in that line are sold unlocked to 200mhz now. It might be a good time to revisit this list Eddie. Alot of these companies have refreshed their models.

Back in college in the 1980s the instructor would wheel out a 2 channel 20Meg Hameg scope to a fanfare of music and gasps of desire from the trainee engineers all hoping to be allowed to touch the knobs and tweak the timebase.
The only digital scope we had seen was in magazines with a price tag requiring a small mortgage. Today, we are spoilt for choice costing peanuts, back in the 80s we would have ripped your arms off just for the worst digital scope of today that we tend to sniff at. However, I don't have the heart to *kill* my Tektronix 465 and sometimes, there are times when the 465 captures things the digital scope doesn't.
Many engineers today are too young to realise just how spoilt they are with the huge range of affordable tech at their disposal.
Nice video dude.

Buying my First oscillscope on your number 1 recommendation..I've bought it through your link so I hope it helps and thank you for your video👍

For buying new, I agree, it looks like the SDS1102CML+ is the way to go. If you're buying used, though, I think the DS1102E has the edge. Since that model has been out for so long, used ones can be had for around $200 shipped.

Once the sample rate is high enough, my most important metric in a scope is the record length, and as pointed out in the video, both the Siglent and the Rigol have good record length. I used to have an old HP MegaZoom scope with 1M record length per channel when I was in school, and it was so nice to be able to take a trace and hone in on pretty much any part of the signal I wanted to look at. I hadn't thought about that spec when I bought it, and wondered why this old scope with a green CRT seemed better than some of the new scopes I used at school. Then I learned about record length. What a difference.

I'm quite happy with my Hantek 5102. basically I ordered the 5202 (200MHz) at $279 +$12 Shipping. They made a mistake and sent me the 5102 and reimbursed $80 difference. so it's like I had the 5102 at $200 from banggood. still working with it and even considering upgrading it to 200Mhz.

this video reminds me of my notes when I was in high school. Good video overall!

[tombouie]

Thks, ?What rules-of-thumb you would use to get the best-bang-for-the-buck in a computer-based HOBBY Oscope, Logic/Specturm-analyzer, etc?
?Could/would you recommend any for hobby work?

[AlejandroGomez-yxsg]

Great Video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Wonderful channel.

[frankgh]

I've been looking for a scope for about a month now, analog from ebay or new digital. I was stuck between your number 4 and number 1 scope. Then I found you video. I used your link! :) The SDS1102CML+ will be here on the 5th!

[syedhaider]

Thank you for the research you shared with youtubers. It was a great source of information and help. I love your hand writing....You must have been a good boy in the you.

[RESISTAGE]

Thanks. I went with siglent sds1202xe.
200mhz were really intimidating.

[jacoblieberman]

Great video! Just bought a Hantek 5102P and I'm sure it'll be a great beginner scope. And I think we have the same smartwatch, Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle?

[souris]

In your notes writes sds1102cml+, but on the frame 19:50 other model is showed. You can't find it?

[shadow]

The Rigol DS1202Z-E was released a few months ago. It's a 2 channel / 200 MHz. I think this will be a better buy for a lot of people over a 100 Mhz 2 ch scope.

[poppopgreg]

You might have missed this •200/100/70MHz bandwidths on the Hantek DSO5072P. I paid $235.00 with shipping

[muppetpaster]

My Hantek 100Mhz WITH functiongenerator was only 218.- including shipping,

[dalebabbitt]

This may be a stupid question, but here goes. Can any of these scopes be used for automotive diagnostics like the Pico Scopes?
