content: Hello Everyone,I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the Uni-T UTD4x series scopes?I recently replaced my Old Tek 485 with a Rigol DS2202, and I'm Satisfied for the most part...Anyways, The Specs look pretty fancy, and once again (based on the price, and because I don't trust having just 1 Chinese scope) I've been thinking about grabbing one of these Uni-T's for portable work and as a backup.The idea of having a DMM in the unit intrigued me.http://www.uni-trend.com/UTD4302C.htmlAny insight would be great! Thanks a bunch!

content: Hey Rick,Thanks a bunch for the input!How many digits was the DMM just out of curiosity? I've had a hard time finding much on the newer units, Kinda makes me wonder what audience they are targeting.I have a few nice multimeters, both benchtop and handheld. It sure would be nice (always) to carry less when out on a repair job.Chris

I considered a scope with DMM but I don't have the scope your questioned is about. I purchased a cheap USB scope and a 22,000 count DMM (UNI-T UT61E) separately and glad later on that I did not just get a combo.

content: I don't think Uni-T has updated their website in many years. They don't seem to produce those red/dark grey funky looking scopes anymore. Those ones must be from old stock if you get one. They are going with the more traditional white/ivory now.Anyway, for what it's worth here's a picture taken from their latest 2014 catalog. Sorry it's in Chinese only, but I believe it's not difficult to guess what those numbers refer to. The M series is their latest lineup in the 4000 series.

content: I have heard that Unitrend company is not much interested in non-China market. At least their English webpage is quite obsolete.http://www.uni-trend.com/product.html

content: I believe you are correct, I cant seem to find any United States based retailers.It would be nice to hear more about them in the future.Had they been more readily available, I do believe I would have given it a shot!Chris W
