Default Need Advice on choosing Osciloscope

Hi,
I'm looking for a decent entry level Osciloscope that will be enough for electroncs repairs & project works. My question is will a 20MHz dual trace scope be adequate?

I'm currently looking at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=009

Search the forums,
Oscilloscope, for "debugging" audio signals
this question keeps getting asked.


As to your question, yes it's fine for 95% of stuff you will come across and work on.

Hi,

unfortunately i am from Italy otherwise I could have sold you my first oscilloscope Tektronix 475A...great scope.
Anyways, you need a good functional analogue oscilloscope.
A 60MHz up would be good enough.
The only concern is the vertical sensitivity.
I would go for a 2mV sens but even a 5mV will work out fine and when you need more you can build a simple scope preamp.

My great suggestions are the 475A or if you can find a good deal then 2445 150MHz 4Ch Tektronix.
