At first: I can confirm that the delivered kit is the latest version 13803K with firmware 113-13801-050 which offers a lower signal noise. I have only some basic soldering skills and managed to finish the whole kit in about three ours and it was working correctly right from the start. Placing the switches was pretty fiddly and the ceramic caps could have been a bit more explicit but you get the idea when count them and check the printed numbers on them. The oscilloscope itself works as expected and offers a great value for its pretty low price. I am very happy with the purchase and can recommend this kit. Especially this version with the soldered SMD parts is perfect for beginners like me.

I am not very good at soldering so I got the kit with the SMD components pre-soldered and I am glad I did. There are 402 resistors and capacitor on the board. I don't know how I would have solder them. The thru the hole components were challenge enough. The hardest components to place were the switches. Getting the pins to align was a problem. I also had difficulty reading the part #s on the transistors. Lot's of light and a magnifying glass helped. Once I got jumpers soldered in, the device booted and worked as expected. I am now a better solderer. Highly recommended My only complaint is that the price was dropped by ~ $1.50 AFTER I ordered, so it is an even better deal today.
