Default Re: Scope specification for FM use?

You can also use scope probes backwards, the BNC end attached to the output of a sig gen and the grabber snagged onto a bit of circuitry you want to inject into.

Not calibrated in any way, but a quick and dirty way to inject a bit of signal with minimum disturbance.

Get a good scope. Keep your eyes open for good probes and buy them when you see them.

DO NOT BUY one of those switched x10/x1 probes. Go for fixed x10. The fixed probes outperform the switched ones quite handily, and it avoids you moving the switch accidentally. You'll very rarely need a x1 probe. Having a separate one is no bother,
