I bought a Tek TDS210 (sort of high-end hobbyist line, I guess.) It's significantly smaller and lighter than normal scopes (LCD screen, 5 inches deep), so It takes up a lot less space (zero, when you're not using it, since it will fit in storage places when a "real" scope wouldn't. Can't say that I've used it enough to get a good idea of likes and dislikes at this point. It's only a 60MHz scope (although there's a 100MHz variant.) BillW
