Title: Hello fellow Autonerdz.
Post by Jon Byrne on Dec 2^nd, 2014 at 12:18pm

Hi everyone. I thought I would introduce myself. I run a small but busy independent garage service. My focus has always been on quality. I love what I do. I have been using Pico for around 10 years now. I bought one of the first ones. You know the one , it's 2 channel and connects to the serial port!! Old but has been a reliable tool. One of my favourite toys. I admit I never went on any training courses so I know I am not using it to its full potential. I am here to listen and learn but I will contribute to anything that I feel I can help with. Thanks for letting me join.

Welcome, Jon. Glad to have you.

Let us know when you are ready to upgrade. Things have come a long way since we introduced PicoScope to the automotive community here in North America over a decade ago.... I think when you see what techs are doing with the newer units you will just have to get one. ;)

Just checked there. I bought it February 2004. It is a great tool and personally speaking I always enjoy using it. Certainly back in 2004 there were very few oscilloscopes in garages. Pico was a very cost effective way of obtaining a pretty good user friendly scope. I bought it from Dave Hewson at a trade event in England. I wonder if he still works at picotech.
