Protek Oscilloscopes

Hi all,

So are the Protek oscilloscopes any good? Anyone have any experiences they'd
like to share? Or should I just save my money for a tektronix or HP? Thanks.

Congratulations on taking the big step. I'd get a used Tektronix 465, but
either one is far better than none.

Just get what you're comfortable with. If you're a newbie, eventually you'll
have enough confidence in your skill to open up a scope and fix it if something
goes wrong. The old Tek 465s were great scopes, and are eminently repairable.
Until then, a new one might make you more comfortable, in which case the Protek
is OK. I haven't heard anything about reliability issues on these, although I
don't have one. You do get a warrantee if something goes wrong.

Good luck
Chris
