I just stumbled across these: http://www.welec.de/english/05_products/products_01_overview.htm German "Welec" brand. Looks incredibly similar to various Agilent offerings (54600, Infinium etc) in terms of button shape, location, colour, panel silkscreen, and menu look'n'feel. I know Rigol design and make the low end Agilents, but this appears to be something different again. Plus they are going damn cheap on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/OSCILLOSCOPE-1-GS-s-200-MHz-2-CH-4-4-VGA-TFT-DSO-NEW_W0QQitemZ200220200267QQihZ010QQcategoryZ104247QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem $699 for a 200MHz, 1GS/s, 16KB, VGA screen scope. Anyone know anything about these? Dave.
