Recommendations on equipment for student

[Junkmail789]

All,

I'm looking for recommendations for the following equipment:

Oscilloscope: Dual channel would be nice, up to 10mhz
Power Supply: again dual channel with + and - 15
Function Generator: up to 10mhz

I'm trying to keep the price down to about $600.00 TOTAL.

Thanks all,

Matt S.

O'scopes are tough. Either buy new (= $$$) or used with a real warranty
or used where you're able to try it out (at a Hamfest or similar). There
are lots of vendors to chose from and many scopes. Try
www.digikey.com
www.jameco.com
www.web-tronics.com
and many others. Be skeptical.

There's a nice triple output (5V/3A and 2x 0-30V/2A) at
http://www.web-tronics.com/dualout03x22.html for about $170.

Function Generator: up to 10mhz

If you can get away with up to a few 100 KHz or so, you can build your
own sine/square/triangle generator with a microcontroller and a few
outboard components. Very stable freqs and a good student project!
