Hello!
I am a German amateur radio guy (Ham) and I am looking for a new DSO. For home use.
Now I am in the conflict to go for a 2072 2172A-S.
Generally, I was going to buy a 2072 and "extend" the device with this information of this board here...
For me are important:
- 200 MHz
- More memory for storage
- UART decoding
As far as I understood, the A Version can not be "extended" by simple use the codes of the well know page?
I have the doubt that the new version is more protected as the old one.
However the A versions are able to have a 50 Ohm input and a signal generator. Two nice features.
What I not understand: Suppose I am buying a 2072 and extend it by using these codes of the page. Would it still function with a 2.0 Firmware version?
The next problem is to get a 2072 without A NOW. I am thinking perhaps Conrad.de would have it on stock.
(My wife wants to buy the DSO for my as a Christmas gift. - so I have to decide quick...

Thank you very much!!
