New Scope/Meter Arrives

Nice scope. I bought one of those JYE Tech kits DSO 068 which has a very limited bandwidth compared to yours. Nice. I like yours.

Thanks GRJ. Ordered one and found a coupon code (BG25807) that knocked it down to 74.99.

I actually have one of those, but it was too limited. I specifically wanted something that would handle the 3.27mhz DCS signal and the 455khz TMCC signal.  Of course, the DSO 068 only cost me around $25 with the case, and I was somewhat curious as to how well it would work.

Yep, I did the same discount.  I looked at prior products like this, but the limited bandwidth always turned me off.  40mhz covers almost anything I need to do, and I don't expect any of these products to deal with gigahertz signals anyway.

I'm a quick draw as well.

You can store up to 50 screen shots, but you can't extract them, so you have to display them and take a picture.  Not terrible, but not as convenient as being able to capture it directly to a FLASH drive.

So, a mini-tutorial on troubleshooting DCS and TMCC signals with a $99 portable scope is soon to follow?  

You know, in your free time .  .  .

Sure Bob, wait right here for it.

Something like that.

Nice handy size scope John, and enough functionality for most stuff as you said. Looks like the display is nice and detaailed. May have to jump in and order one to replace my tired old bench job. That would free up some bench space too, which I could then plug up with yet more unfinished projects! 😄 It just keeps getting better........

Everything I have purchased from BANGGOOD has arrived defective somehow. They even own me ~$250 for two bad laptops in a row. No more BANGGOOD shopping for me, no matter how good the bargains might seem.

Let everyone beware of this company.

Well, the string is intact.  Even though it won't affect me much, there is a defect with the 'scope.  The transistor test sockets seem to be AWAL, no pins under the holes.  I don't use them anyway, but it would have been nice if they were there.
