content: Am looking after the oscilloscope parameters- bandwith min 200MHz- 2 or 4 chanell- large memory- LCD min 8"- maybe mixed signall with logic analyzerIn short, something like Agilent MSOX30xx or DSOX30xx Oscilloscope with 200 or 350MHz.Unfortunately, I live in the EU, and thanks to the Government of the European commies are the prices of these things absolutely terrible in the EU. In short, I can not afford to go to the corner store and buy a new oscilloscope.Questions1. For what money can buy such a thing in Australia or the United Arab Emirates?2. Alternatively, buy used, offer or ask where to look?3. There is a Chinese variant applicable to Agilent oscilloscopes or Tektroniux?

content: If cost is a serious issue, you really shouldn't be considering Agilent.Have you considered other brands?Dave.

content: Please specify 'technically comparable'. Bandwidth? Memory depth? Waveform update rate? Trigger capabilities? Built-in AWG? Upgrade options? No two products are going to offer identical features.

content: Suggest you look at Rigol. There has been plenty of discussion of their latest models in these forums.

content: Even if you could find Agilent cheaper in lets say Australia, then the postage will probably eat up a fair bit of the potential savings, and if the customs are remotely any thing like here in Denmark, you probably wont be able to smugle in a Mars chocolate bar with out having to pay all sorts of import tax's, so good luck trying to sneak in a +3000dollar scope with out getting slammed by the customs. Not to mention, what do you do if the dmaned thing breaks down?I'd look in to rigo, at leats thats what I'm considering at the moment. Try having a look atwww.batronix.comI think they are based in germany, and I bought a DMM from them a while back, and there was no monky buiness from them at all, so no risiking som hung e-bay scammer. I think the Rigol reseller in the UK is cheaper then the germany based, cant recall their web site name, so you have to do a little googling your self for that one.

content: Chinese equivalent to Agilent? Rigol.A good equivalent to the DSOX3000 would be just about the DS4000 seriesif you don't need 1M wfrm/s
