[kwlug-disc] anyone with a cheap scope for sale?

[John Johnson]

I agree on the "risky". To Richard's point Re: bandwidth. IMHO A 
'scope built around a PC sound card will have a bandwidth cap of 
about 20 kHz which is no where near 2 MHz. And will, therefore, be 
unusable with RF or digital signals faster than 1 to 5 kHz.
