content: That is often the case with both Telonic (aka Rigol.co.uk) and Lambda in my experience. Phone them up to check stock verbally, but you may find it's slightly cheaper to order on line: they still seem to ship right away if you've called up to check stock even if online it says they're out.

content: I did consider a siglent DSO but Tautech is too far away to tie a brick to it and throw it back at if it went wrong.

content: Quote from: I4E on July 20, 2015, 04:23:08 pmI love it. But then as a relative newbie I don't have much to compare it with. It was these Ganssle reviews that convinced me -http://www.ganssle.com/reviews/review-of-siglent-sds1102-scope.html

content: Our website is currently being built. We have an address atwww.instruments4engineers.combut at the moment it's just one of those free place pages you get with the domain so no products are listed.The website is a big project because we supply over 1000 products. It's also the extras we wanted like filtering , comparison options etc that take up some time. According to the web designer, it's probably not going to be ready till Fall of this year.If anyone has any questions they can contact myself direct .I'll be happy to answer any questions. We've been working with Rigol for about 8 years now so know their products well. We are running a special on the options for the DS2000 and DS4000 series scopes at the moment.Regarding the Siglent unit, thanks for feedback and link. I'll have a look at his review.It would be interesting to know what you are using the scope for.Have a good day everyone :-)Joy

content: Quote from: I4E on July 21, 2015, 12:27:02 pmWithin sight of retirement (well, 5 to 10 years), I'm resurrecting a childhood passion for electronics but having spent all of my working life as a software engineer (from mainframes to minis to micros), I'm leaning toward the digital rather than analog domain. In software I specialise in image processing and hardware control (scanning electron microscopes), so I'm currently "playing" with 8-bit and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers (and Arduino for quick-and-dirty prototyping when I have to, but I hate the programming environment with a passion!) and find that the Siglent with 2channels at 100MHz isalmosteverything I need. I have supplemented with eBay purchases of simple function generator and logic analyser but would have preferred to save desk space and get some/all of that functionality in a scope. However, the prices go exponential at anything more than 2 ch or 100MHz so having to be patient .... so, hobby/pleasure rather than commercial, but tending towards "serious" rather than "frivolous" projects once I've acquired more knowledge/skills/patience ....
