For a simple "Is it more or less?" Nothing beats a DC
coupled scope. If you're tuning for a maximum (or
minimum) you can easily see that out of the corner of
your eye with out having to take your eyes off your
fingers or the end of the tool you're adjusting things
with.


As long as you don't have to set something to an exact value. Too
many years in TV Broadcast & Aerospace where you had to be able to set
something to less than a 1 mV error at 15 V.
