Hi everyone,

I'd like to know if some of you had experience with a Pegasus oscilloscope Model 20. From what I know from the description, it's a 20MHz dual-channel oscope, sold with one probe, for 100$. What do you think? It'll be my first home oscope and I'm planning to debug an audio amp this summer so 20Hz to 44.1kHz should be all I need for now. Maybe some AM radio/FM radio (4.455MHz/10MHz on top of my head). What I'm wondering is... where do this oscilloscope come from, and is it worth it? A google search seems to show non-informative results.

 

$100 for an off brand 20MHz scope is more than I would pay. For example, here is an example of one that is being sold locally on our free classified ads. I have seen nice test equipment on KSL.com, CraigsList, and finally EBay.

 

There's someone else near where I live that sells a BK Precision 2120 (20MHz). The guy sells it for 250$ with the Power Chord, 2 probes, calibrated and the manual. I can get one around 100$-130$ with no probe on eBay. Is a 150$ offer too low?

 

hehheh "power chord" reminds me of rock guitar.

The $280 Owons are 2channel digital O'scopes. delivered. with warranty. They are 25MHz scopes. so you can get a little more bang for your buck.

I have the OWON 5022S for my home lab.

But we are talking about double the price. Is it really worth it? Any feedback on the BK Precision?

 

Just the warranty is worth it.
