My neighbor picked up a 6074 scope earlier this year & it had issues. The longer it was used, the more it would bog down the computer. If it was on for more than a few hours, it would eventually lock up the computer. He gave it to me for a few days & there were definitely issues with it. I believe it was a defective scope & he ended up returning it. I tried to get him to pick up another one, but he is looking to buy a better scanner now.
The 6074 scope has a lot better spec's than the other scopes Hantek is marketing now. The 1008 & 6022 scopes are very entry level scopes, and are not recommended (at least by me).
I believe the 6074 is the new, 4 channel automotive scope & is the replacement for the older 3064.
If you don't have $2500.00 to spend on a Pico (and who does), pick up a 6074. Just make sure you get it from a reputable seller & that you have return options.
If my 3064 died today, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another one tomorrow.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.

In terms of bang per buck as starter scopes Hantek offer a lot but the Windows software is a bit of a pain to use. Also the build quality is variable on both the scopes and the amp clamps. I own two of their amp clamps one works fine the other arrived broken and I had to spend two hours fixing it to get it to work. If buyimg again I would just buy generic amp clamps.
Also the mhz performance claims on all brands of Chinese scopes is has to be taken with a large pinch of salt for example Hantek claim the 6047BE has a bandwidth of 70mhz but in the documentation the band width limit is 20mhz and that is likely to actually be 20/4 = 5mhz as it shared between 4 channels, this is actually more than fast enough for nearly all automotive purposes but keep in mind to turn off channels you don't need.
I have been considering the Hantek IDS1070s Wifi scope which is a non-automotive scope --I have dabb;led with Wifi scopes last year I used a Velleman WTF210 for a couple of months I actually liked it a lot , great build quality and windows and Android software was easy to use but was prone to crashing and didn't show pre-trigger events which is very important for some car diagnostics.
With these non-automotive scopes it is important to porotect the scope by using an attenuator when connecting to coils and injectors.
If you can find a supplier you might want to look at the Auto Ditex range autoditex.com/

If you can afford a little more I think I'd recommend the 6074 also. I haven't used it yet, but I just ordered one myself and it will be here in a few weeks. I can let you know how it turns out if I remember.

I can still return this scope and I"m trying to decide if I should stick with it or try something else.
Thanks, Mike

I think the HT25 is probably just a crappy secondary pickup. I'd appreciate your feedback.

I don't have enough experience with DSO's to make qualified judgments but my initial impression is I was hoping for more. I'll attach some of my first waveforms. They look to be kind of raw (unfiltered?) compared to even the AES Wave handheld dso used by Paul in a recent misfire video.
OK, I think I may have a lead ( no pun intended ) on what the problem is. I found these images of know good waveforms on the Picoscope website :
So in this picture, the Primary and Secondary are almost exactly mirrors of each other.
However in this waveform we see the same kind of strange degradation we've observed in our personal measurements with the Hantek scopes and HT25 leads. This makes me think there is some other variable here, not related directly to the scope and lead we're using, but I'm not sure what it is.
Also, I just ran across this post of mine from a little while back in which I had just got the scope and was playing around trying to get secondary ignition traces. What I noticed was that my waveforms were really clear and detailed. The difference was that I was just directly looking at the output of the HT25 pickup on a 50mV / div screen without using the 10,000x scaling. I think the software scaling may screw up the appearance of the waveform.
Maybe I'll post about this on iatn, and see if anyone can explain what's going on, or maybe I'll go out and see if turning of the 10,000x scaling and just reading directly in mV gives better results.

Maybe I'm doing calibration wrong. Please have a look at my hookup. I used the included leads.
I have my HT25 leads pulled up away from the engine but I'm not getting anywhere near the waveforms your seeing. I had a family rush job come in so I'll get back to the Hantek tomorrow hopefully and try your settings.
Thanks much for the help.

SailorBob your videos helped a lot. I can only imagine the DSO 3064 will act the same. Now I'm thinking of moving away from Hantek and trying to PICO some how. I hate fighting with my equipment. I use a Snapon Modis right now and comparing my experience with the modis to your videos have the hantek, I would rather use a Modis. Thats pretty bad. Disappointed in Hantek. The Modis has been fine minus the not so bright screen and the screen resolution.
If anyone has more experience or find out more faults / fixes / work arounds for these Hantek scopes please post.
@Andy. I don't have the experience with either Pico or Hantek but Pico is a top notch scope. Certainly worth the money. Hantek seems to have its faults and not sure if its worth the aggravation. You can also go ebay and find an older snap on verus or verus pro or even a modis which will all work just fine. I have used the scope on a Verus pro and the scope on the modis and both work really really nice. I might lean toward a verus again for a scope if I can afford the pico.

As you probably know the MODIS features a VGA out you can input to an external monitor. This is an excellent way to overcome the display deficiency of the MODIS, as long as you are stationary.
A really great scope for the automotive imo is the USB AUTOSCOPE, a fine 8 channel scope, with integrated ignition scope, pressure transducers and very helpful task-specific scripts. This scope is reasonably prized, esp. when regardi g the transducers the lackage comes with. For some reason or another it doesn't get the attention it deserves.
Here's a link to the producer's homepage, and yes you can buy it in the U.S. directly.

What I'm seeing with it is that the signals are very noisy, even with the 20Mhz bandwidth limiting turned on, and the noise makes using the min / max functions on things like O2 sensors useless. I was also unable to get a stable injector waveform, although I got stable ( but messy ) ignition waveforms.
I'm not really sure if this is just due to the higher analogue bandwidth, or if the scope is defective. Also, the waveform recording / playback doesn't seem to work. So far the only thing better about this than the 1008c is the AC coupling, which the 1008c doesn't have. From my testing I can't see any practical advantage so far, except that maybe I could test 4 fat signals at once, which the 1008 doesn't have the sampling rate for. And it might not accept EM interference as easily as the 1008 since the channels are supposed to be isolated, but I didn't test that.
Here's a short playlist of what I found: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5ZkAEzEb...Wo6N0mmDpB7nBGmWbK0i
Any observations or comments would be welcome.
