So I am trying to pack my car for a cross-country move to Berkeley, CA.
Every square inch I can spare will make this easier, so I am pondering my
big 1009mhz 5 channel scope. I love it, but it is taking up a lot of
space, and I don't trust UPS to deliver it. Plus it will cost more to
ship than I paid for the thing.
I was pondering leaving it, and buying a PC-based one once I was settled
in, thinking they would be cheaper.. but I see prices around $400 or so
for the low level stuff and thats way too much.
So... is there a nice $100 pc-based scope, or think I can replace mine for
about that price in Berkeley? Or should I bring it? I hate the idea of
buying something I own, even if it IS cheaper than trying to move it.
I wish I could just ship my entire hobby out there, but too much of it is
delicate and easily breakable and I have had too many packages trashed by
UPS, not to mention movers. (Last time I used movers they lost my bicycle
and completeley smashed this REALLY nice autotransformer.)
Ugh. Having a good collection of parts and tools is great until you have
to move it long distances in a small car.
