Loads of good test equipment there. You could do worse to start off, than a Tek 7000 series mainframe with vert amps and timebase plugins. This would probably set you back $300-ish, but you'd be able to get 100 MHz bandwidth. I use the 7000 mainframe to hold a pair of spectrum analyzers. I wish they still made the same style of scope, I like the "what test instrument do you want to make today?" approach. - -- Are you an ISP?
