Here is the spec for Instek Oscilloscope:

Vertical System Sensitivity: 5mV~5V/DIV ±5%
Bandwidth: DC (AC10Hz)-20MHz MHz (-3dB)
Horizontal System Sweep Time: 0.1µS~0.5S/DIV ±3%
100ns~50ms/DIV ±5% (x10 MAG)
10ns~50ms/ 8% (x10 MAG)
Power Supply AC 115/230V ±15% connector selectable, 50/60Hz
Accessories Detachable power cord, 2 low capacitance probes, instruction manual.

Is this a suitable one for my diy amp building purpose?
Radioshack has this on sale for $250...

Should I get it?

Please advise,
Chris

I would buy a Tek 465b on Ebay instead, you could get a warranted and serviced one for that kind of cash, or take a gamble and spend less. 100MHz, solid quality build, the scope that "everyone" seemed to reccomned when I was looking for one. Avoid the mil-surplus 465M as (apparently) its entirely different scope and not as good. All this is second-hand advice, but I followed it without regrets.

Cheers,

Jake
