Hate the hidden screws mentality which force you to destroy the decals just to get in.

Forgot to say tappy tap tap when using the hammer, that’s why it broke

9:07 looks like a ported enclosure - for better bass response!

I'm still loving my AD3, fits to my budget and under my laptop!

How can you tell when Dave didn't pay for something himself?

Oh Shit Dave has a Time Machine built out of a DeLorean, no way he has this before release date

I am trying to get a feel for where this product slots in. $700 Yankee seems high for individual student purchase. I could use this on the benches in my student lab, but the panel should be larger to make it easier for students to use. As Dave noted, binding posts for power and banana jacks for meter probes would be desirable in an instructional lab setting. We would have to build a connection manifold to make this fit our needs. A Kensington security slot would have been handy. I am weighing if I want to switch to an environment such as the Analog Discovery series for student labs. The AD software is excellent, but it would add an additional learning curve for students to get past to execute their lab assignments.

The product from the future! I had one too - the Open Circuits book, which I had in 2022, probably before the official release as the copyright notice was dated 2023. A Book From The Future! Both brought to us by the McFly Intertemporal Delivery Services, haha. ADP appeals to me more than AD2/AD3; I like the form factor and alumin(i)um enclosure. It offers some bench stackability. I like the rounded traces on the board. A thing of beauty...

The older ones had more sensible prices but this is proper scope + siggen price

I'm just impressed the Tektronix 710A I just found in the junkyard still works. I cant wit until these things are 100$. Hell to affording this thing. I got excited whenever I saw a new small greatest thing. Always looking for cool new things and love your work.

Prices keep creeping up. Id be happy with AD1. Not sure what more these bring.

i wanna see something like this also include a function to drive SDR software by hooking up an antenna to the inputs....the bandwidth and resolution would be awesome... i really like the markings on the board for the different sections.... Teardown took a new meaning with this one! :P

I've seen only once this type of screw case and it was for a huuuuge old decoder (don't remember what kind of)

I love my AD2!

Recently got an AD3 and loving it! I wasn't sure whether the pro was worth the added cost.

I love my AD2 och DD2. But they are both limited by USB 2.0 data rates. I like that AD3 Pro ADP2230 have FX3 so hopefully it will support USB 3.0 transfer speeds.

Nice piece of kit, it's unfortunate it got used even before you touched it.

With that extruded aluminium cases, the screws can cause metal fragments from the open channels to fall into the case. We had that actually happen. That is the reason this does not use those types of cases I guess.

I'm definitely going to talk to my boss about getting a bunch of these!
