Rigol sells unit X with capabilities Y at price Z. The only thing they have no right to do is to sell unit that does not work as advertized. It may or may not work better. If you do not like the price you do not buy it. buy somebody else's or not buy at all. End of story. Rigol does not owe you or anybody else anything. If they want to add 10MHz limiter and sell this new 10MHz unit, it is their choice, not yours and definitely not mine. > For example, it would be like paying for an upgrade to first class when > all seats are first class.

End of story. How about selling an "upgrade" to Rigol scopes? VLV

I *believe* everyone who has not signed "not to sell an upgrade" agreement with Rigol has the right to do it, because he does not violate any contracts. Again, I am not talking about current laws. -- Andrew
