I Agree James, I have had a go using a fancy oscilloscope but it was not 
quite so easy with that. The necessary kit should not cost a lot, a very 
basic laptop and some simple software. Why can't I buy the kit and offer 
the service? The stuff I've seen advertised is just too expensive. I'm 
probably too old to get the money back before I get tired of doing it in 
the UK. Old old story, everything costs twice as much here, I wish we were 
in $ and not under the thumb of monopolistic banks.
