I hope that this is the right forum to ask (since I saw some O'scope
discussions earlier), but this mailing list seems to have the best bunch
of homebrewers around.

I'm in the position of "getting" a scope. Getting means that I don't
have to pay for it, a client of mine is buying for me and it just so
happens that I can basically choose any scope under $1,000 that I want.
Lucky me, I get to use it for my ham stuff also. :-)

My questions is this, for homebrewing, what do you guys/gals prefer: a
digital storage scope or an traditional analog scope? I've only used a
digital scope once. and it felt very "wierd". But I did like it because it
was very small (<5 lbs) and did have some nice features. I've only used
analog scope in the past. I've been looking at the Tektronix TDS-210. It
is a 60Mhz digitial scope and it does 1 giga samples per second.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kory
