I am looking for a scope for the main purpose of avoiding audio signal clipping and setting car audio amp gains. Never owned a scope.

Ryan, I think this scope should work well for you for that application. I think you will want a sine/square wave signal generator of some sort as well, so you can get a periodic signal you can see clearly on the scope.

No problem...If you are looking for a Good QUALITY scope that has 3x9 magnification (brings target 3 or up to 9 times closer), try the new "Simmons Truplex Magnum Riflescope". It has a 3x9 magnification and the cross hairs can be illuminated (either red or green...your choice). I bought this scope and it is excellent.I had it zeroed in in no time at all. You can get it on Amazon.

No complaints about feedback. I clipped to overhead visor to put mic closest to my mouth. Hubby researched and this was a top recommendation from Consumer reports. We have one in each car.

Also I think you can look up bdc conversions on Google. Its a great scope for the money. I've owned quite a few rifle and scope setups and this one on my tikka t3 has been my favorite and most useful across the board so far. Haven't found a use for the illuminated reticle yet but its cool to have.

Also there is an app for this scope which comes in handy. It is about $5-6 but well worth it.

I use the 3 and higher for imaging Planets, thet 2X can be used for doubling the power at the eyepiece. The 127 eq is a great scope you should have lots of fun. I had a C5 at one time loved it.

Yes! I was at the range yesterday and that's actually one of the best ways to zero in the scope. Hold the AR rifle steady on a sandbag or whatever , aim at the target say 100 yards using the peep sight ,you then set your cross hair on that target....that easy, works for me. Oh and the mildot ?

I think focal makes a good product, but not in this price range. Also not a huge fan of coax, i prefer an external crossover. Plus the JL Audio c2's can handle double the watts for the same money, and arent made of plastic.

I have a Leapers (UTG) Bug Buster 3-9x scope on mine and that works quite well balance wise. Runs about $60

Dont waste your money. Its a horrible excuse for a scope. I sent mine back. Look at Vortex.

I bought a $60 or $70 audio-technica shotgun mic from full compass (fullcompass.com). The mic itself is great (very directional, good sound quality). Shotgun mics are the kind the pros use on a boom pole, but you can use it however you want. The only thing is that my SR1 creates a noticeable buzzing noise in the audio whenever it's recording. Some other people have the same problem. I'm waiting on that firmware update from sony to see if it helps. Just keep this in mind before you go spending a lot of money on a mic.

I haven't used this scope for automotive sensor troubleshooting, but as long as the specs for what you're testing are within the input voltage range that the scope can handle, it should be useable. Unless you know otherwise, I assume most automotive sensors are very low voltage, so the HPS140I should be fine. But, this scope is tiny, has only four buttons, doesn't have a backlit screen and is only a single channel. Using the four buttons to navigate through the menus takes a bit of time and patience to get used to. But, once the buttons and menus are understood, the scope proves itself to be capable for viewing waveforms and voltages. And, it doesn't cost very much. So, if you're really budget constrained & the specs match what you need, it's hard to beat the HPS140I. In comparison, I also own a Velleman HPS50 which is more than double the cost of the HPS140S. With the 50's larger, backlit screen, more buttons and other features, it's quite a bit more versatile.

Hi, I'm not a scope snob. I think there are decent cheap or inexpensive scopes. This isn't one of them. If you are anyone other than Stevie Wonder I urge you not to buy this scope. You will regret it.
