USD$285(Active Differential Probe Included) 😀
 
I owned a Picoscope 2104 10 MHz and a Hantek DSO-2150 60 MHz dual trace. They cost roughly the same. I consider the Hantek a superior tool and far better value for money.

The Picoscope is robust mechanically, small and self-contained and good to put in a laptop bag, but it has a lower max input voltage, and I blew mine up in a moment of inattention. Picoscope were unable to offer a repair, just a small discount on a replacement, not that I think Hantek would offer a repair, but I was disappointed considering how fragile the Pico turned out to be. I took the replacement offer, but left the scope behind when I moved jobs.

The Hantek is simply the most resolution you can get for the money, all considerations of analog/digital aside, a 20 MHz analog scope still shows a 20 MHz square wave as a sin, and you get the math functions and storage with a digital, it's a complete no-brainer of a choice if you're buying new.

Very portable! Most practical watch ever! around 150$

Analog Bandwidth: 200kHz, so no wide bandwidth there.

Looks like a smart watch 😀

Thanks, I will buy one the Hantek 6022BE and try 🙂

I got that specific PicoScope model a while ago. The 16bit resolution is very nice to have for audio work - it makes the spectrum analyzer actually useful. The 5MHz bandwidth is quite small though, and it doesn't fit well with "not cost an arm and a leg".

I was looking at the picoscope 4000 series, but the price turns me away.🙁

I will be ordering the Hantek to have a try before I move on to picoscope.
And yes the scope + analyser for the picoscope is really wat to wanted but Farnell selling at 799 eruo 🙁

I went through this same exercize years ago. Bought and returned most of the products on the market then. Kept the Picoscope, simply because its software was far superior. I would check out the software before buying any of them. Also yo do get what you pay for. Frying the input is an issue but even with the very high priced stuff you get no protection. The input modules for the DSA scopes start at $12K and can be destroyed in a moment of carelessness. No warranty or protection. They do fix them, but for $6-8K.

QuantAsylum may be a very good option. QA100 USB Oscilloscope I have had good results with their audio box and they do know what they are doing.
