Very nice interview and episode! I too have a couple of Tek mainframe boxes and units on my workbench. A question: isn’t the 5 MHz figure mentioned about the Tek oscilloscope plug-in referring to the bandwith rather than the speed (as in a PC’s CPU? Often, the 5x Rule suggests that one need five times the signal’s frequency to reliably resolve the observed waveform, according to a Ride & Schwartz brochure regarding things to know about an oscope. Perhaps I misunderstood the conversation that that point as I was driving-while-listening, lol! Randy, I watch most all of your videos and never miss a Workbench episode. Color me a happy Workbencher!

Yes, the 5 Mhz is the bandwidth. Yes, for accurate measurements you want a scope with 10x the bandwidth of the signal that you are looking at. However, many times we aren't measuring to a very fine detail. Many times I am interested in the overall voltage and shape of the signal. I would think that for general home workbench any scope in the 50-100 MHz will be fine,

Hackaday has a good posting.

Thank you guys for the work you put into the Ham Radio Workbench! Below are some additional recommendations that I didn't hear mentioned, though I could be wrong.

An additional YouTube channel that shouldn't be missed:
