I have a 2213A scope w/o a probe. What probe should I be looking for -
I've gone onto the Tek site and there's like a million type of probes
there with lots of specs on Atten/InputC, InputR, B/W???

What would be a good equivalent to use?

There are a large variety of inexpensive replacmeent probes available
from electronics distributors like MCM Elelectronics as well as on eBay.
You don't need to go to Tek and pay 10X as much! It's not a high performance
probe.

Switchable X1 / X10 with the same bandwidth as the scope. Nice set of
accessory hooks etc. would help.

10:1 for 1 Mohm scope input, input C comp 18 to 30 pF.

B/W at least 60 MHZ.

So most of the suppliers have the 100MHz probes around, 99,9% of these
offers will suit your 2213A because it's very well in that range. I
took mine from RS components, not the cheapest but works well.

Thanks - I'll have a look around at the local exectronic shop.
