Impugn all you want, you are right. It is possible he only has two probes.

Getting this down Fox's ? Stick something in the hole in the BNC connector on the scope and see if you get anything out of it. Sorry, I assume things like this have been eliminated but I have been burned a few times.

A thin gauge wire on a resistor or cap will fit in there. If this has already been checked - disregard.

They had the scope turned on while I was talking with them.

No response to anything on the input BNC connectors.
However, the vertical would "thicken" in response to the cell phone
transmitting it it was close enough to the scope.

I'll say it again, it looks like they killed something between the
input connector and the vertical amplifiers.
