OK, I got the skinny on this. Chatting with tequipment.net, I was told the new scopes would be shipping at the end of November (ugh, I want one now! Like another poster said, Rigol I have money I want to give you, don't make me wait!)
and here's the prices
Rigol DS2202A -200 MHz, 2 channels digital oscilloscope $1626.00
Rigol DS2202A-S -200 MHz, 2 channels digital oscilloscope with 2 channel source $1976.00
Rigol DS2302A-S - 300 MHz, 2 channels digital oscilloscope with 2 channel source $2571.00
So it's an extra $350 for the function gen. This will be my first scope for home and I haven't used a function gen since electronics class in college about 6 or 7 years back. Is the function gen worth it? Would I find uses for it if I had it? I'd kinda like to limit my purchase to $2000, so I could either get the 200mhz scope with function gen or the 300 mhz scope without. I plan to use the scope on microcontroller projects and I'd like to do some radio projects, like homemade fm and am transceiver (Which is why I'd like a minimum 200 mhz scope, so I can easily directly see an oscillator in the fm range).. So what's more useful, the 200-300mhz range or a 25 mhz function gen? Advice anyone?
On the function gen front, how does this built-in one stack up to stand alone ones? What else will it do besides just the normal sine, sawtooth, sqaure, triangle, etc. ?
