That might only bring it down to one or two or so. But if none look right you may have to try again in a couple of days.
You want to get one that covers the frequency range you will be working with, for broadcast AM maybe 10Hz to 2 MHz, Shortwave 10Hz to 25MHz, FM 10Hz to 120 MHz or TV 10Hz to 250 MHz. BNC input connector. You may have to do some research, you definitely want one with a crystal timebase oscillator, usually 10MHz. Hopefully you will have the time to run it past the forum for opinions.

Well I don't use eBay on a regular basis which is why I'm a little rusty with my eBay skills.

I'll search again using the tips you suggested and see what I come up with.

Thanks so much for your help.
