| Oscilloscope Probes |
What is everyone's favorite 'scope probes? We've gone through a handfull of Oldacker & Cal Test probes, both keep getting intermittent connections with the coax cable where it is crimped. Anyone had better luck with better brands? We've looked at Tek's probes, but it seems the actual tip isn't replaceble (not the hook tip, I know you can get those). We don't need anything over around 100MHz, X1/X10 switchable is preferred. Thoughts? Steve |

We may just give those a shot. At that price, can't complain even if they don't last more than a year. Thanks, Steve |
