digital oscope suggestions? <500$?

Interesting the specs make it a basic audio - low RF scope... @ 12 Mhz vert 3 DB BW and 10 Mhz sweep... The Spectrum analysis would be ok to a MHz The Generator and Bode plotter are interesting too, make a GREAT setup for developing audio filters possibly to a MHz or so. The Sig gen is likely one of those new DDS chips, I own one that is good to 5 MHz and it is nice to be able to rapidly sweep a network and look at it's response. Perhaps a little pricey for a beginner but a great beginning, well equipped and really nice equipment. Great tool for an Amateur Radio enthusiast (WA7EMS) . If I worked lowband radio I would love to have it... Vellman generally makes fairly solid devices, the few I've bought worked exactly as advertised.
