    What is your budget for the scope and mainly what are basic things that you need in your scope?
    There are some models from Scientific and Rigol I will get some more information and post the model number here.

    Hi Harshad, thanx for your reply 😀


    my usage is very basic as of now, i need something around 100Mhz, 1GSa/s Sampling rate and 1M point memory , dual channel ,DS1102E from Rigol fits my specs

    But are you aware of any Rigol distributors in India who sells refurbished DSO around 15-20K with good warranty ?
    a used DSO or any Demo piece will work for me as long its in good condition and warranty.

    Manufacturers of Test and Measuring Instruments | Scientific Mes-Technik Private Limited they are distributor for Rigol. We get the same model around in 30K.

    Yes, If your budget is less then that is best option to go with. I also heard that Tektronix also sells such scope.

    Hi Harshad,
    I asked for quotes from Scientific India, and they said they used to deal with RIGOL but they don't any more, and they have there own SMO DSO's which are around 23K for 70Mhz,
    can you suggest any other Indian dealers in RIGOL ?

    Hi Harshad,
    i finally got a tektronix DSO for 29K 70Mhz,
    but now i need one function generator and i asked for quotes from couple of distributors, and it turns out they are as expensive as DSO !!!!!
    can you suggest some really low cost function generators like in 5-6K range ??

    Hi Everyone,

    Has anyone ever tried Hantek products. I am personally greedy for the model Hantek India Thodukonics 35k its really a nice piece of equipment (From the specs and images on the site). However the only thing that holds me is it has a very low screen res (320x240 according to their spec) but its a 5.7" screen.

    Please visit HANTEK INDIA Oscilloscope (Original Hantek) for details
