Thank you very much Gary.

I just won a set of 100 MHZ probes with kit on ebay.
I'm building 15 HZ zapper circuits and I need the scope to make sure my signal is as close to 15 HZ as possible. I almost bought one of those DSO nano's but someone told me they are **** . They told me I was better off spending money on an analog unit rather then waste cash on the Nano.

Me being new to all this it took me a bit to learn how to read an analog scope but I'm picking it all up pretty good.

Thanks again and have a great day.

Jim

I need to buy a probe for my oscilloscope which is 60 MHZ.

My question is can I buy a probe that rated 100 MHZ or must I make sure
it is rated 60 MHZ the same as my system?

Thanks

The 100 MHZ probe will work fine. The 60 MHZ specification on your
scope means its vertical amplifier and display will start to degrade
at 60 MHZ or higher in frequency. Therefore using a probe with a 60
MHZ rating will allow you to realize all of your scope's capabilities.
