How good can a new $60 oscilloscope actually be? (Hantek 6022BE Review)

#cheapGear #oscilloscope #troubleshooting
I routinely get viewers asking me for a cheap solution to help them fix old machines, so I decided to buy a Hantek 6022BE USB oscilloscope and see if it's actually sable. When I purchased it from AliExpress, it was just $60 shipped. Let's see if this thing is even good enough to be usable for fixing old computers.
I've been using a National Instruments VirtualBench for the last several months, and while it's a fantastic piece of gear, it's extremely expensive so I do not recommend anyone purchase it.
