[TriEmbed] Opinions on 30MHz Wireless O'Scope

For performance this scope compares with a $25 DSO138 scope kit available from Amazon.  
This would be most excellent for audio and old-school radio IF/AF section work.  Good enough to see static GPIO outputs, UART ports.   Not so good for embedded computers, USB and whatnot
This pen device would be amazing.  I’d love to have a scope with my smart-phone screen and a rechargeable pen item when working at other people’s houses (ham radio stuff and whatnot), but for $350+?  Hmm…

You need to characterize your bandwidth of interest which is a function of carrier (clock frequency) and edge rate.  The last thing you want is a scope which attenuates (doesn't show) the nasty transients you really want to see.  Being unable to "see" bugs on a scope does not make them go away, the painful voice of experience.  :-)

The IkaScope WS200 offers a 30 MHz bandwidth with its 200 MSa/s sampling rate and the maximum input is +/-40 Vpp.
