- on a 20MHz scope, the only signals you have a decent chance
- of seeing at 20MHz are sinusoids and even then, the phase
- and amplitude will not be correct. you'll just have an indication
- that their exists a signal with a definitive frequency.
-
- forget about square waves beyond 10MHz unless you want an
- overall idea that a square wave is being attempted on the
- device being observed. audio work is very good with this
- type of scope. i own a dual trace 35MHz and have been very
- satisfied with it for home use and little high speed
- digital work. i have a jameco model probably made by someone
- else.
