Thomas,

I bought mine because of the gain, but on +5V it performs worse than a "38 
dBi" antenna, quite a lot worse.  I'm wonder whether it needs more volts, 
or whether it's simply broken.  It was ex-equipment, and not in very good 
shape, but it was described as "used" so I'll just write off the loss, I 
suppose.

BTW: I did appreciate the discussion on Chinese 'scopes - I ended up 
getting a DS1052E and I'm delighted with it, considering the price.

Cheers,
David
