To be honest, I'm not sure what we could add to the RTB2000 and still keep it as an "entry level" oscilloscope -- it has a lot of features you won't find in some other "entry level" scopes -- but we're always very happy to get feedback
At first, I am working myself as a hardware developer at a huge measument company. So I have understanding that
things are at some time out of the brain of the developer!
I also think that a customer can not expect that a company will add new feature after they bought something! I only
believe this happens because your marketing guys knocking at the door of the developer
and starts cry: "Our expensive gem missed some things all the cheap brands have it now. ADD IT!"
BTW: I am glad that I am developing hardware and not software.
However a new release of firmware that address a few bugs on your internal buglist, not new feature(!),
from time to time would be nice.
Oh and it would also be nice if the RTB had the same entry level function than your more entry
level scopes like the old HMO2022 that I am using now, because the RTB is send out to R&S.
For example:
A selectable software filter

I missed that SOOOOOO much in my RTB. :'(
I also missed the switchable 50R inside of the RTB. I mean a 300Mhz scope with this price tag and no 50R? Did your
face not turn red when you meet sometimes people from Tek or Agi somewhere?
I guess/hope it is only a flag in the PGA of the channel?
I also missed the component tester of the old HMOs from time to time. So I had to develope
it myself. If someone is interested:
https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/528893#newThere also a few thinks I talked with the salespeople of Hameg 10years ago. When I bought
a bunch of scopes for my company they tend to listen more carefully:
In the probe menue it is possible to select voltage or ampere, it would be nice to type
in any units. For example yesterday I used my scope to measure temperature (self made temperature probe) and it
would make the live easier if you could read "°C" on the screenshot. You only have to whip the software guys a little for it!
A longer horizontal timing than 50s. For example 60s or 3600s/div would be nice sometimes.
An internal VT100 terminal. That would be very nice for software debuging. Poke your
probe at one pin of the cpu and read all error immediately. No fiddling with USB-RS232 and
terminal program at your computer.
Unfortunatly it did not appear in your scopes.
