Keysight is not very hobbyist friendly these days. A year or two ago it broke on the Eevblog forums that they were refusing to honor warranties/service contracts unless you had a corporate account with them. If you were just a guy with a scope you would be SOL.
- nerdsniper 11mo agoDo you have any better recommendations?
- easygenes 11mo agoThey’re not one of the big 3, but Rigol are pretty much the only scope co actively marketing models to hobbyists / individuals: https://www.rigol.com/europe/news/company-news/mho900-release.html https://www.rigol.com/europe/news/company-news/mho900-releas...

- m-ee 11mo agoThere was a Rohde and Schwarz rep that was pretty active on those forums when I still paid attention to it, might count for something. Hard to justify going with the legacy brands as hobbyist with what comes out of China these days. Rigol and Sient make very capable hardware although h the UI can be a bit painful if you’re used to something else. Micsig produces very capable probes for a small fraction of the cost of the legacy players even high end specialty stuff like optically isolated probes. Those are still thousands but try pricing the equivalent from tek or Agilent, it would buy you a sedan.
