Dave,
A few months ago, I bought and built an oscilloscope kit from
QKITS.com which it very similar to the bitscope product. Check
here:

The actual manufacturer is Velleman.  Go here and search for
the K7103.

Like the bitscope, this unit is PAC based.  It has 20 Mhz
bandwidth so it can only resolve signals of 5 Mhz or less but
it has done everything I've needed.  It is PIC-based and
available as a kit or pre-assembled.  As a kit the construction
was simple and enjoyable and the components are top-quality.
The on-screen user interface is identical to a regular scope so
it's easy to use.  Plus, it is great to be able to store and
print the screen output. They also have some higher bandwidth
units in assembled-only form.

Good luck and let us know what you get and how you like it.

Cheers,
Andrew
