Hey all youse 'scope gurus,

no

If you all think another 'scope should be in my future I would love
some advice. Since this is a hobby I don't wanna spend a lot of money
on yet another toy, er tool. So a used 'scope is fine with me. I love
my used TEK 465B.

Everybody should have another scope now and again. I have 11 at the
moment, which is none too many.

(On average I pay about 3 cents on the dollar, which makes new scopes an
easier sell.)

If you're going to get one you don't need, consider making it a pocket scope. Quite handy, even with modest specs.

I have been looking at some on eBay. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm sure you intended humor but I am appalled you buy beer in bottles.

Light is the enemy of beer, and the better beers are the more fragile.

If you like that nasty skunky taste, okay; but we real beer drinkers buy in cans.

My next one might be something with serial decode.

Yeah, I usually buy beer in cans. More often now good beer is
available in cans. It used to be good local beer was only available in
brown bottles. It is truly amazing how much good beer there is today.

What does serial decode do?

It reads out the hex data on a serial bus such as SPI or I2C. Sort of a
poor man's logic analyzer.

I use a serial decode scope all the time -- to debug vehicle CAN bus transactions. It's more of a rich man's logic analyzer. It can do so much more than a logic analyzer.
