OScope

[ieatdrt 10+ year member]

I'm thinking of picking up an O'scope off ebay but I'm not sure what I should be getting. I've seen 60,100, and 350Mhz models all being 4ch. What fits the bill when tunning an amp? Also, is there anyone here that might be able to assist me in the use of the scope. I've used them to test Fiberoptics before but not for car audio, and that was about 6 -7 yrs ago. Thanks again.

i think you might want to look into how many volts max the scope can read.

20Mhz single channel is plenty...

Get a 20 Mhz with a dual channel + function generator if you can, that is overkill for this purpose - but is nice to have handy. You don't need a 60 Mhz unit for the purpose of car audio. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

arent some oscopes limited to how many volts it can read? i remember an automotive class i took had an oscope that wouldnt read over 25 volts.
