Bob and  all,

  

 I recall a short  while ago Bob posted a reference to a very reasonable priced 'scope on the  list.  It has been 30+ years since I last used one, and I am  wondering if it would be a worthwhile investment for  crafting/troubleshooting an OBAM aircraft electrical system (rag and tube  bushplane, no glass). I have the opportunity to purchase a used ocilloscope  locally, and am wondering what applications I might be overlooking.   

  

 Regards,

saelig.com has the pds5022 for I think $329. currently.

Seems to work as advertised although I can't get the usb driver to 

install on my windoze98 machine. I agree that it is excellant value for 

playing with electronic stuff but I doubt that most folks building 

airplanes would have much use for such a thing.

PS. Sorry if I've annoyed anyone by giving an opinion as well as 

answering the question.  Well not really

I agree with Ken.  I'd like to have an O-scope, but nothing I've 

encountered yet seems to need more than a multi-meter of some sort.  I 

bought a cheap Fluke meter for $70 or $80, which I recommend.  If you 

want to measure standing wave ratio on one of the radios, you'll need 

and SWR meter.  I actually borrowed one of those from somebody once.  

Isn't really worth buying one, though.
