GeekDoc 226 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Found this on slickdeals.net: This Rigol DS1052E 50MHz DSO can easily be hacked to 100MHz. This is direct from Rigol-NA. Evidently there is a 6-question 'test' you can take during checkout to get the additional $30 off. Sorry to my off-continent friends. Also, sorry this isn't an Amazon link, bluehash. Not sure how long this price is good. bluehash, oPossum, caa028 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GeekDoc 226 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 If I hadn't just spent $700 on tires, I would definitely jump on this! Oh well, tires were getting pretty bald. Safety first. Maybe it'll last a while or get repeated. gatImmusepete 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

timotet 44 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ive been waiting for a good deal on this scope. I've been looking at ebay for a used one for awhile, and that just doesnt happen all that often. I just ordered it moments ago! Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickta59 589 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I bought an Instek gds-1062a from tequipment.net however I see that have the Rigol ds1052E for $349 http://www.tequipment.net/RigolDS1052E.html?Source=Google I had a good buying experience with them. I'm guessing buying a Rigol from them would be good too. -rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timotet 44 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 So I got the Rigol. It is my first true DSO. Im really happy so far. I played with it a fair amount this weekend, and I went back and forth on weather to do "the hack". So this morning I said WTF! its only money and went for it. Here are the results. before notice model number after notice model number :clap: apparently you can now go down to a 2ns rise time not Rise(2) look at Time 2.000ns anyhow I'm not complaining this should be more than enough for me. if you want to do it check out http://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog-speci ... mmy-guide/ gatImmusepete 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,581 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for fixing. Most of the image site links expire in a few months if no one visits them.. hence the reason. I thought they fixed the firmware to avoid the upgrade... apparently not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tingo 22 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks for sharing this, I just performed the upgrade on my DS1052E. Very happy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
