I would buy the highest freq. scope that you can find and afford if you
are only allowed one of the two. A company called Texscan made a line
of inexpensive Spectrum Analyzers for the cable TV industry that are
showing up now on the used market and on eBay. For most Ham work they
work great. The company that bought Texscan is called Trilithic and
manuals can be gotten from them I have been told.

Which of these would be the most useful to the Radio Amateur? Also when
deciding upon one or the other, what specs should one look for in
purchasing one for Ham radio applications, given basic needs for now
but with enough capabilities to handle more advanced Ham radio needs in
the future? Thank you for any help. B. Taylor
