content: Claims that include the words "up to" always worry me!Specs give a claimed % accuracy but look incomplete since they do not include +/- LSD. It makes me wonder what else they over looked. I've also learned to be extremely skeptical of Chinese quality, safety, reliability, documentation (lack of!), durability and repairability. $250 is a lot of money to pay for something that is likely to fail in two years and that is basically unrepairable and can not be calibrated. I would spent my money on a used HP or other major well supported brand of equipment before buying this. (Says the guy that just bought TWO 30 year old HP 3468As, an 18 year old HP color scope and four ~17 year old LeCroy scopes and a 40 year old HP 6111A. All within the last year. All are working beautifully and extremely accurate.)Anybody else see this: "YH45 is controlled and calibrated by software,non adjustabledevice,"

content: It does, read the ultra small very fine print, U.S.A versions come with a .45 and a sticker saying you can have it from my cold dead hands, Oz versions will come with free fosters, us brits get tea bags, the sunny parts of the world get sun glasses. NZ versions come with stickers saying shoulda purchased Siglent from Tautech.I read somewhere that Green is the prominent first colour the eye see's. Perhaps that is why they made it in Hulk mode.

content: It even has the mandatory typo on the front panel. "Founction".Also comes with the holy grail of measurement instruments, "Software calibrates automatically".

Price is cheap enough it seems so they decided to give you all a price drop for their appreciation of such fine instrumentation.

content: I have no intention of buying one, never did, I have a 34401A from KJDS and a bench full of DMMs, I just thought it would be interesting to see what others thought and such. That and maybe someone with little money may think it a good buy.Now, the fosters excuse I am not buying, the colour of this thing is a bit in ya face but hey you cant lose it can you.I do intend getting one of these though.http://www.gearbest.com/soldering-supplies/pp_226889.html
