Interesting. 100 MHz is certainly good enough for experimenting with pretty fast circuits (10 MHz at least, assuming the 10:1 ratio). Funny thing is at first glance the 'scope almost looks like a microwave oven with a bunch of knobs on it.

It samples at 1GS/sec, so it's pretty good to close to 100mHz. I am really pleased with this scope for the price. It has performed beyond my expectations and you can't ask for more than that, from a personal perspective at least.
Actually, there is a little story behind this scope. That quirky behavior I mentioned before turned out to be a bad scope. I thought, since I bought it from a Chinese vendor off of eBay, I would be out of luck. I contacted the vendor anyway and they got the manufacturer involved. Between them and I, we determined the scope to be bricked. The vendor shipped me a new one without delay and paid for me to send the bad one back. You can bet I am absolutely delighted with that kind of customer service. The new scope, as I said, has turned out to be better than I originally expected. All in all, a great experience and a great deal for the money. The eBay vendor was infinitystore0001. You can trust them.
