I agree. Yesterday I clicked on an advertisment for Tek scopes on Farnell's website. It turns out their TDS1000 and TDS2000 series only have 2.5kpts of memory. Even my old 2230 has more memory (4kpts). I really don't understand why they cut back on the memory depth. The
2430 and the TDS200 series have to do with 1kpts which really cripples the usability of a digital storage scope.Anyway I ended up buying an Iwatsu analog/digital scope from Ebay to replace the 2230.

I bought an Instek GDS-2204 instead of Tektronix. 25k memory, no nickel-and-dime games on the software (all a free download), its control codes are public, and so on. You simply can't do serious pulse-echo work with 4k or less. Not even have a good look at SPI/I2C/RS232 hickups. What were they thinking when writing the specs? Or, were they thinking?
Did the 2230 die? Those were from the good old days, stuff lasted an eternity.
