  • The uTracer 3 
    • A tube curve tracer that is very powerful.
    • Some upgrades that are in the mix 
      • New interface for selecting socket connections - going to have 8 and 9 pin sockets with rotary switches for each pin
      • Upgraded ground loop for measuring the grid current on triodes
      • Integrated FTDI
      • Transistor curve tracer (only tests the "positive" transistors PNP,N-Channel stuff)
