Hello everyone (my first post!)
I have an SDS2104X HD for several months now - purchased with the aforementioned SDS2XHD-BND bundle (great pricing) but before the base price was dropped when the SDS1000X HD released (less great pricing... nevermind
)
I love the scope, best I've ever owned, but I feel a bit miffed at how expensive the (legal) bandwidth upgrades are... ~£2,000 before tax in the UK for the 100MHz to 350MHz upgrade... The base SDS3000X HD at 350MHz is ~£3,000 for comparison...
Yes I know that's not a fair comparison as the 2000X HD benefits from the bundle mentioned above while there 3000X HD doesn't... (yet...) But besides the logic analyser kit the bundle isn't
that useful to me so in retrospect I may have traded for higher bandwidth at my original purchase price...
I have a question - not just moaning - does anyone know (maybe from past experience) if these licenses also drop price in time? Or is acquiring a bandwidth hack the only hope us penny-pinchers have for BW upgrades?
