The Amazon letter soup of the month is FNIRSI - I am questioning whether they are actually a letter soup brand. They have a bunch of impossibly cheap hand-held tools, including oscilloscopes. I picked up their multi-meter and power supply and they actually work.

I've seen FNIRSI products in videos by Matthias Wandel (woodgears.ca) on his second channel after the company sent some of them for free to test. They compare relatively well, especially for the price but are be no means perfect. I assume they're still a rebadged letter soup product, but they seem to be trying to get some recognition for the name.

Those look pretty cool! I like how nice the price point is nowadays for 10-20mhz bw scopes.

137,999.86, I like that 86 cents on the end, maybe the cents are a covert communications channel.

I get what you’re saying, but there are also fully functioning oscilloscopes for far less. For the purposes you are talking about you can get what you need with one of the $20-40 scopes. Those ones also tend to be portable and more rugged which is what you need if you don’t have a full blown lab to keep a nice oscilloscope in.

Note: the intention of this comment is just to be informative. I did a quick search in my country's Mercado Libre (the local Amazon, we could say) and the cheapest available one, Fnirsi-138 Pro [1] goes for a price of aprox. 50 USD [2] [1] https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Oscilloscope-Portable-Samplin... https://www.mercadolibre.com.ar/osciloscopio-digital-fnirsi-...

Isn’t that an effect of taxes and logistics/shipping to Argentina?

It seems like the price of anything would scale similarly. If you imported this $18 device to At, it would probably double in price.
