Hand held scope suggestion

Post by letank »

there are a bunch of inexpensive handheld oscilloscope on the market for many years, some with terrible reviews, other with spotty reviews or spotty software to non existent customer service.

Has anyone used one of these such as FNIRSI, Hanmatek, Hantek, any price from $40 to high $100. The on-line jungle vendors have plenty to offer.

I am always messing up with various vehicle and my USB picoscope is useful with a 25Mhz, the secondary scope is not the best, it still needs a laptop, not the most practical for a road side quick check. The handheld claims seems to fit the bill in the 50 to 100Mhz.

Thank you for your ideas, happy turkey day

It or an equivalent is discussed in one of his videos... too many to sort through. A quick search did not reveal, but if you are interested, you might spend a few minutes looking for that video.

JMO - you might search for "used scopemeter." Seems like you can buy a good one for a few hundred if you shop around. More than your price range above but maybe a better choice? SnapOn also makes hand-helds that might be affordable used.

I have a $300 Siglent on my bench and a Tek CRT scope in the rack beside it. No hand-held currently; there are scopemeters (Fluke) at work I could use.

Thank you for the links. Yes, I have spent a few hours in the last few days searching over at the eev forum and many other.
There are a couple good used Tek some miles away. Then, may be a hand held could be more useful, 40 year old motorcycle is getting finicky on warm restart... even with kick starter... push and jump start works...
