Since the neat little scope you have only goes from 50Hz to 300kHz, you can do a lot better by spending not a ridiculous sum for a larger scope that goes much higher than that.

Am I correct in thinking then that it is the design of the Y amp that determines the bandwidth of a scope,So on a more expensive model this is what gives it the higher bandwidth.I was trying to check the output of my Advance signal genny using my scope but this only works up about 200/250kcs,Where as the genny goes up to 100mcs.
