Hello,
Another happy DS2072A-S owner, unlocked All Options + 300MHz. Not being religious per se, but it must be said, God bless whoever made the pdf Unlocking Guide (hack went smoothly). Also God bless Rigol, they certainly changed the game in favour of the customers, especially those with not a high financial capabilities.
Owner of DS1052E (not being hacked, yet) for few years already, didn't have the best experience with it as it broke down. But it must be said that Rigol did step up. On DS1052E issue, first communication was with Rigol Europe, from there being forwarded to Rigol North America, and from there to Rigol China. The Rigol China was very responsive, DS1052E was send to China where it was fixed and send back.
Considering not having the best experience with DS1052E, compared with scopes used from other vendors (Tektronix and Agilent), I was looking (and saving) into those options (Agilent most likely) for the new scope. During that though, the option for hacking DS2000A was identified, and it was just hard to resist. Now DS2072A-S, upps!!! sorry, DS2302A-S is on the bench,
.
Further, eventual acquiring of Spectrum Analyzer was considered, or more precisely put, wished for. But after the hack of DS2072A-S was done, order for DSA815-TG was put in place. Because of DS2000A, eventual Rigol offering for the spectrum analyzer was checked, and DSA815-TG was discovered. Woow, it was not quite easy to believe what DSA815-TG is offering for the price tag on it. Actually, more precisely, the price tag on DSA815-TG was not quite easy to believe. Looking forward to add it on the bench.
