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; amzn.to/2BHfFxk

There is now an Owon that might be #1 because of specs and low cost - see link. amzn.to/36fCGWu

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👍

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.

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

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.

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

Thanks for the review! It was helpful

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 University.....Thank you.

nice video i have had luck with Rigol stuff and good price points

Very nice video.. Thank you..

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.

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?

Great video thanks

Thank you for the video, have you seen the owon sds1102, its similar to siglent sds1102.

gracias.. mire tu comentario en amazon y busque tu canal.. me ayudaste a elegir , comprare el siglent 1102 atraves del link de amazon que dejaste en la descripcion

Great content. The datasheet for the 1102CML+ says 2 Mpts though, does that make a huge difference in your reasoning around deep memory?

So how did you rate the Owon SDS1102? (the new on the list) I was actually thinking of getting that one.

these videos helped me pick the right scope thanks

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!

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.

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

Hey whats the maximum frequently waveforms i can measure with these scopes?

Great video. I was wondering if I could have your opinion please. I was having a look at your recommendations and some of them have changed spec and some even come with a signal generator. Now I'm suffering from indecision. What would be your pick if you were buying around $300-400 today? Thanks very much.

You have a shopping list going by the adds. I would like to see how they have stood the test of time from people using them for some time.

I am considering to get an entry level oscilloscope primarily for audio amplifiers. Hence high frequency response is nice to have but not a must. I am down to two choices: 1. FNIRSI 1014D 2. HANTEK DSO2D10. Which one do you recommend or if you have a better suggestion?

are these still current?

for a mecha guy who need a scope once a while, i bought myself a USB scope which is less than $100. enough for probing automotive and basic stuff. good content, Sir.

What interests me on the Siglent is the 'Hardware' Frequency counter. I just can't find any info. on that section. I'm wondering if it can actually count up to 150Mhz, or if it's frozen at 100Mhz. As a Ham Radio operator, I would buy it for sure now that they are back on Amazon if I knew the counter was useful in the 2M Ham band 144-148Mhz...

I got to say I still love and first to go to scope is the Siglent SDS1102 CNL hasn't got as deep a memory as the CML but, she's never skipped a beat.

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

which one to stick into mains 240v ac rms... 1x probe way... no xfmers either,, pls suggest,,,

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?

Intensity grading does rank pretty high on my list as a must, and I can see which part of the signal is pronounced, and would reckon that ain't the norm in sub 300 scopes. but maybe you cant read that from the Amazon specs.

What are your thoughts on the GW Instek GDS-1102B? 100 Mhz , 1GSa/s, 10M maximum memory depth for $251.00-@279.00 delivered.

Thanks

There is a new oscilloscope FNIRSI 1014D at around 100 dollarswhich has a signal generator also. Can you please do a review ?

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.

What book are you writing your notes in and where can I buy one? Thanks.

Hi like your reviews, was wondering if you could review Hantek 2D82 auto

Rigol DS1202Z-E ?

Trying to get my first scope, is the OWON SDS1102 better than Siglent SDS 1102 CML+ ? Thanks.

How about fnirsi 1013 D osiloscope?,Thanks for your response.

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

Own a Hantek and waiting for a Loto USB Oscilloscope/ Logic Analyzer to arrive in the mail. Seems to coming Pony Express. Already been 11 days. You should hit them up. They seem to send their merchandise to a lot of youtubers for them to do demos. Thinking I'll buy a Rigol DS1054z next. For the retro stuff I repair it can't be beat. Hope you do a video soon, I'm suffering withdrawals.

Looking forward to reviewing Rohde & Schwarz

making a video dedicated to a budget automotive scope will be you're next 100k view video if you decide to do one =) I been looking into aeswave

One of the best video on youtube...

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

3:44 isn't 255 Msamples/ seconds enough for 100 MHz according to Nyquist ? Unless 100 MHz is the processor speed, so yeah....

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

Why did the SDS-1102DL+ not make it onto the list but the SDS-1052DL+ did?

Awesome

Everyone has their own opinions, but I *totally* understand why someone might give a scope 4 stars when it's a "Great Scope". Just because something is good does *not* mean that it should get 5 stars. In fact, a *good* scope for that price point should get 3 stars! If you give everything 5 stars, then there's no room to differentiate truly awesome products from average ones! Here's how I rate products: 1 star = product failed, customer service did not resolve 2 star = major flaws, product less than expected 3 star = good product, works as expected or issues quickly resolved via customer service 4 star = excellent product, better than expected 5 star = flawless product, best-in-class, a classic, ZERO flaws So, I'm obviously one of "those people" that doesn't give "good" products 5 stars. People can dislike me if they wish, but my ratings *MEAN* something. If I give a product 5 stars, then it's probably *better* than one I give 4 stars. For most consumers, anything that works when you plug it in is 5 stars, so future shoppers who look at the ratings will have no idea which products are truly better. Sorry, but I disagree with that paradigm entirely. Reviews and ratings are meant to be objective and critical, not just 5 stars across the board. The greatest novels in History should be 5 stars; everything else, by definition, *cannot* be. For example, there's a Hantek reviewer on Amazon who gave the product 5 stars despite the PC feature failing to work and ZERO response from customer service. The reviewer justified this by saying that they didn't use the PC feature anyway. Huh? It would be *generous* to give that product 3 stars! I like to compare this with dunk contests, as most people have seen one at some point in their lives. How many times have you seen the judges give a dunk straight 10's only to then have someone do a better dunk afterward? What do they do then? They're screwed. The average slam dunk is, by definition, a 5/10. 3 stars represents an AVERAGE product at that price point, which means that the average star rating for all of the scopes in this comparison should be somewhere in the 3-to-4 star range (1 star products will generally stop being sold, which raises the average somewhat).

Its clear🙂

Why there is so much price difference in GWinstek and Rigol MSO's and signal generator. Which one to buy rigol or gwinstek.

I2C, SPI decoders etc ? scope function not considered in making the list.

Hantek DSo5202p 200mhz 1gs/s 40k m $295 Circuit Specialists.. (Special Order) Yes the DSO 5202b is 400 Plus

I made the mistake to buy that "winner";) It is very slow to react, check it out in one of my videos. I was going to buy the Hantek 100MHz which the local seller did not have in stock at the time, and I am putting up with that for the moment. I know this video is old and I have no idea about the new Siglents but that older generation was no good.

Hello. Very Nice vídeo. Can you teste a situation of Hight Frequency Transient with one of your less espensive oscilloscope? Like a mini-motor conect to the eletricity home net. I'm a geobiologiste and the so call "durty eletricity" it's an important matter of safety at home. I'm from Portugal and I'm already a fun. Thank you very much!!!

So you did not test them all?

You can buy 5 of these scopes for the price of one tektronix.

You can make the Hantek DSO5072 go 100/200Mhz easy!

How bout a vid on automotive scope under $300

The price winner should be the Hantek DSO5072P, not the Hantek DSO5052P. There isn't a model from Hantek with that number AFAICS. Geat scope tho. [EDIT] - I should watch the rest of the video before commenting...

Wow, had a Siglent in my cart, it's gone now. Checked on Amazon and much is gone. This virus really messed up the imports, prices are way up on most that are left. Every one of those links above is dead now. More motivation to stay alive, so I can get that Siglent I wanted when they come back...

They are over $300 now.

UNI-T UTD2102CEX $300. It came with newest firmware and PC software v2.01.

About the rating system. Man this is the more unfair and imprecise tool of measure. People are not honest. As you noticed they may give 4 stars and say: the best evaaa! Also if they get something with the slight imperfection (let's say they forgot to put in a 5 dollars cable), they sill give 1 star and swear. So fuck that system. All the stars should be followed by a small comment to describe why he voted like this. We need in the future an AI system to evaluate the comment part and if they gave 1 star because they had a bad day the ratting should be deleted. I never watch those ratings because I know they are bogus.

Kiss analog? I fuck analog.. never liked that old tech and dreamt of a digital world and I can say we have it now. DIGITAL .. hell yeah baby!

These are not pricey, they are fisher pricey

Is this 4K video? Ha ha ha ha ha! At best 480p.

Maximum people looks Brand

"They might be made in China ... maybe some in Taiwan ... [but] don't let that get in your way." Is there a version of this video without the casual racism?
