Hello All,
For quite a few months now I've been trying to score a new or used DSO on eBay for less than £225 delivered from the UK or Europe. Those that have appeared on eBay have quite quickly gone out of the range of my budget. I've also been trying to find retailers selling new DSO's for < £225 but with little luck. I would really like the Rigol DS1052E but no one in Europe will sell it within my budget.
The cheapest DSO I can find from a retailer is the
Owon PSD5022S from CPC in Preston. Some say the screen is terrible and the firmware is dodgy while others have said it's an acceptable beginners scope.
Electronic projects I would like to use this scope with include a bench power supply, audio amplifier, constant current load, radio transmitter and a wireless weather station. I already own a Open Bench Logic Sniffer for any digital stuff.
Would the Owon PSD5022S be suitable for most of the projects I mentioned or would I be a fool to buy it?
Many Thanks
Stephen
Sorry for yet another one of those Oscilloscope topics. I'm just not sure what to do and so I'm looking to the community for help
