How much bandwidth is recommended for working on ham & shortwave radios with frequencies up to 30Mhz? Can I get away with 70Mhz? 100Mhz? I am only interested in new digital scopes and my budget tops out at $300.

There is an old rule that you need  at least 2 times the frequency that you wish to view.

There is a publication by the ARRL "Oscilloscopes for Radio Amateurs". On Amazon.com is near 20$ used or about 10$ for the kindle version that maybe helpful. The kindle version can  be viewed via their free PC app.

Also  there are  videos on YouTube on choosing an oscilloscopes. I have a Hantek DSO5202P it was far more functionality then I need. I did have to replace the display after about three years but they are not expensive.

40 views and no advice? 😭
The problem I have is that I answer so many questions that I like to give others a chance to  answer some.  But that is not always helpful I know. 🤨
