    Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2TdS2Ux
    One of the symptoms is that is causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face.

    There will always be "for another $100$", no matter how high-end or expensive product one gets. Like you showed us, this $250 scope is decent and meets basic requirements, especially for beginners.
    It's important to understand what extra $100 (or what ever amount) brings to the table and is it worth for the buyer. For many, this scope is everything they need and more.
    Great video, thanks for sharing.

      I agree, there is always a little more for a few bucks, in the end there will be a high end product that not feautures are needed for. my recomendation is stay for needed spesifikation, perhaps keep going for a little more to grow in to, but don't start ladder it's that more for only that and keep klimbing lader. It's always better to look at what do I need now, near future needs and invest accoringly. In total agrement with you mr Hugatry. Don't spend more than you need. Best regards from sweden

The AutoSet button, Measure and Math functions right at the fingertips at this price point is cool!

I’m not impressed with the Velleman test board seems like it might need new diodes and a new cap. If you get it working please let us know what it took to fix it. It does give me an idea for a scope testing board of my own design though. Great video as always Paul.

    for a high school student working part time this scope is perfect , my first meter was a three inch VOM from Lafayette and it cost me thirteen dollars and I was glad to have that meter , of course I would have preferred a Simpson but the one from Lafayette was all that I could afford and I used that meter for a long time and was glad to have it.

  • @hobbyelectronics6630

    I've had this model scope for about 2 years now. Not bad is a fair assessment. It has its problems though. It occasionally "randomly" reboots itself. The AC / DC input coupling stopped working on one occasion. It fixed itself after a reboot. The triggering malfunctioned but it also fixed itself after a reset using the autoset button. One of the backlight buttons stopped "backlighting" after a week and one of the probes had to be replaced due to a faulty connection. So for the extra $100 I wish I had bought the Rigol. I can't justify another $350 on top of the $250 I paid for this scope so I am stuck with this one. There are a couple of other reviews on this model of scope and I would suggest that anyone thinking of buying this scope watch them. My evaluation after 2 years is at best not bad.

      Sounds like you need to do a firmware update for those software issues. The probe and button would have been covered under warranty so just the annoyance of sending it back to get fixed. The seller I ordered mine from sent me the wrong scope but I had ordered the 4102C and got the MSO5202D which costs over 250 more. Downside is no signal gen which is why I ordered the 4000C but the upside is I got a much faster scope and ordered a fy6900 for 104 euros with my scope savings.

  • @charlesworton4020
    @charlesworton4020 Před 5 lety +5

    Yeah... I looked at this scope before I bought my Rigol. That maximum record length of 40K was a deal killer; if you were sampling a 40 Khz signal, you'd fill the buffer in one second. And at the maximum sample rate of 1 gigasample per second, you'd fill the buffer in 0.00004 seconds, which kinda makes it a useless feature. The Rigol gave me the same 100Mhz rate (once the Riglol pirate update was applied), 2 additional channels, and a much more usable memory size. It was worth the extra $$ to me, and given the popularity of the Rigol, I think many people feel the same way.
    On the other hand... if you just need a super cheap scope for a particular need, the Hantek isn't a bad choice. Scopes are getting cheap enough now that you can eaily pay more for a multimeter, and when you compare the capability of the Hantek to some of the ritzy DMMs out there, the Hantek comes off looking pretty good.
    Still, I could barely afford 1 scope; and for my needs, at the time I bought it, the Rigol was the best choice. Keep rocking! >Charlie

    Hey Paul! Just discovered your channel and I hit the subscribe button. I like your style. 👍👍. Thanks for reviewing the scope. Im a newbie and have been thinking about getting one only I have no clue how to use it or what to do with it other than display it on my bench.😁. Do you have any recommendations for an oscilloscope book or instructional / training videos? Thanks much!

    Do you still have the 5072p scope you reviewed three years ago? Is the 5102 worth the extra $$? Are they both hackable to the same 200 Mhz? If so, would they then be more or less the same scope?

    • @learnelectronics

      The 5072 is in my opinion, the best value starter scope out there. It triggers well, lives up to published specs, and has plenty of bandwidth.

    Hi! Which one would you recommend between this scope and the Siglent 1052dl in terms of build quality? I'm trying to decide between both. Here in my country they're almost the same price (the hantek one is slightly cheaper) Have you made a teardown review of this hantek scope? Thanks for your advice

    Speaking of rectifying, I been tinkering with a automotive battery charger, that I can also use as a bench power supply, I didn't see a full bridge, and it had a small ceramic cap, that looked to be an after thought, I'm guessing it's a single diode? But without the cap, it showed 11.?? Volts DC, and 25vAC, I put another cap o. The output, it then showed 18.?? Volts DC! I didn't bother checking ac, do you have any idea what this thing could be up to? I have a full bridge rectifier to swap in, I will need a smoother output if it's to be used as a bench supply also. I also have a digital volt and amp meter! Off subject I know, I figured I need to ask my CZcams electronic guru! Thanks!!

    I have that same scope. The scope check board is a home copy of the Velleman board, but it works just the same. That was nasty looking waveforms as was mine, but I let the scope perform its on self check calibration and it cleaned it up. Still had that annoying ring on the top left side, but it's a $250 scope, lol. It's not an SC61 but still a nice little scope none the less. It's also upgradeable, but I wouldn't touch it unless I had the 50 MHz scope board to compare it to. I still think it's more to it than a simple firmware thing. I don't trust the you tube DIY upgrade videos. There has to be a small hardware diff. Thanks for the video, it was great. Lol.....UR not far from being the scope KING....:-)

    I have this very scope, i love everything about it, however i have an issue with it...
    Why is it that the frequency reading on the measure page, sometime differs to the frequency reading along the bottom of the screen?
    I'm pretty sure the reading at the bottom of the screen is correct, so why is the frequency reading in the measure page incorrect?
    In my case, the reading on the measure page reads 87.10kHz and along the bottom it reads 86.5430kHz (which ties up with the Arduino i have programmed to work as a frequency counter giving me the impression this is the correct value).
    Does anyone have an answer to this?

    It's not just the price .. Well, it's a big factor, but for many of us, 500$ scope then needs to be shipped , and then there is VAT , so it might be closer to 650$ when one gets it .. I plan on buying a Hantek scope, like a 200$ one, and the reasons are that im a noob, dont need a very powerfull scope cause i have never even used one, and also, I dont wanna make some noob mistake and maybe damage a 500-1000$ scope.. I would much rater spend 200$ , get a cheap scope to practice and learn, then if there will be cases where i need a better one, then i will consider getting a better one

      Get the MSO5102D It is the same thing with 1M sample length instead of the 40k and it has a Logic analyzer. I ordered the cheaper 4000C (I wanted the signal gen.) but they sent me the MSO5202D by mistake and since it costs 250 more I kept it. You can hack the bandwidth on them so there is no point buying the 200MHZ version.

    Since my budget is low. So I ask you should I get this scope or a rigol ds1052 or 1102? Do you recommend any other? Like uni t or owon or gw instek?

    I own a Hantek oscilloscope and nothing wrong with them. I had high price ones and they are not much better for the price. So nothing wrong with this scope at all. The only thing I do think you should spend money on is a good multimeter. Cheap ones seem to be out in measures. So a good fluke is what to buy there. But I agree with you on cheaper oscilloscope. They are made well and do the job.

At the moment on banggood they are like 5 bucks in difference so prise isn't an isue, at the moment the kilohertz range is good enough for me, but still I like best choice for groving into if more is needed in future. Super review, much epresiated, as many other videos watched, informative and not waste of time, even found some electronics solutions I did not now ealier that I needed, this is old video but still good informations both now and then.
