Came across this on Ebay:Looks promising, especially if the options can be hacked.But, it appears to be something of a mystery scope. The manufacturer's website, if I've got this right, is gsi-protek.com, and the specs and picture they have are very different:Maybe Dave can have a look in his dumpster to see if one has fallen in yet...
Yeah, that is what I was going to say: it was either a pre-production unit or a rebadge.
Rebadged SDS2000 and running early V1 firmware as the memory depth is listed as only 28 Mpts not 70 as was made available with V2 firmware.The later SDS2000X models had a few HW changes, namely the front panel layout for better ergonomics, new smaller MSO probe set and more memory to allow for a standard 140 Mpts across all 2000X models.

Of course it can, with the right .cfg file. You should have it. HintNov 15sds2k_V100R02B01D01P27_fvA1511171117M151117 plus cfg file.
I still have the original SDS2304 though, only finally put away in a cabinet about half a year ago, as with all the testing of the more recent units I didn't turn it on anymore anyway
That old version (?) of the Protek 8204 is listed at $2600 here:https://cc-globaltech.com/product/gsi-protek-8204-digital-mixed-oscilloscope-bandwidth-200-mhz/Is it worth that much? Probably not. So far, no bidder for the one on ebay either; but that may of course still change.
