Do analog scopes have any advantages that justify the higher price?
it's not that analog scopes cost more, it's just that:
- 1- digital scope price droped a little bit (or rather their performance improved...).
- 2- there's some pretty cheap(not suitable for precision measure) digital scopes that were not existing a few years ago. and they cost way less
some years ago analog scopes could get to higher frequency, but that surely isn't true anymore, otherwise than that I do not see real advantage for anlog scopes...
what sure is that cheap digital scopes (like this one) are tiny, cheap and practical, but they are not the same kind of instrument. any analog scope is a precision measuring tool. I don't think any digital scope under 300$ can compete with analog scopes. analog scope compare to real digital scope (the not cheap kind). trying to compare them with this kind of device is like comparing apple and oranges.
