Thanks for the thorough review!!
For that price, it's a steal! It combines a number of handy tools in one small device, easy to put in your ''go-bag''!! I want one!

If someone is just starting out that looks like a good bit of kit to me. It's a lot more than I had.

[cfdfirefighter]

I’m just starting off and tinkering. I ordered this last week so I’m glad someone I trust got his hands on it and showed that it works well. I certainly would love for it to test power regulators. Been having a pain of a time on a bass amplifier board.

Great review and variety of testing....thanks, Rich.

i'm glad I found this video, I just ordered this for almost $200 at a local online store (probably dropshipping). I was surprised to see the price difference!

[DelticEngine]

Many thanks for posting such an excellent in-depth review. Personally, I was impressed with the component analyser and rather liked that it also gave an ESR reading for capacitors which saves the cost od a dedicated ESR meter. I was not impressed with the need for adapters for the test probes and the lack of electrical protection which, to my mind, makes is a rather fragile instrument particularly out in the field. I like your ideas for possible upgrades to the device and it is easy to imagine a whole host of features that could be incorporated into such a device.

Great product for what it is. I remember back in the early 70s, when I got my first analog multi-meter, and thought I reached a new apex.

I have the DSO-TC2, and I love it so far. I dont really know all of the ways to use it, but the scope and tester seem to work good

[SteveH-TN]

Appreciate your helpful review. I just ordered one to use with my Model Railroad and Amateur Radio hobbies. My old Scope is 1950-60s vintage. I am especially looking forward to the portability of this one. Update my DSO-TC3 arrived today 😀Now watching this excellent Video again as I follow along with hands on experience 👀👀

[flippy]

wtf i just searched for this, and this was uploaded 3mins ago, i think its a sign to buy it

[greengrayradio]

I got one of these couple of days ago for simple testing in the field, without bringing heavy, mains powered instruments along. Quite good value for money, as you mentioned, the scope is maybe the weakest point. The IR remote reader only responded to a couple of the remotes I tried. Nice posting, Richard, I will look closer at it when doing more tests!

[roncarter]

For 53.00 dollars and ships out within the US on eBay. So this seems like a very cool and compact tool, thanks for this video.

[rasmansonjames]

thanks alot . one of the best reviews ever. i got the product and watched videos but this is ontop

[mumblesjustin]

Great review! Thanks for testing outside the norm. I have a few different Peak electronics testers I purchased many years ago. I know there's other multicomponent testers on the market now but non of them look very polished . After stumbling across your review of the DSO-TC3, I think its time for me to upgrade my component testers to the DSO-TC3. I don't uses these testers very frequently but the DSO-TC3 looks like it'd save me a bunch of time when trying to distinguish component without having to switch between three or four tester as I current sometimes have.

Just ordered mine today with the extra probe. Bit late to your video, been sub for a while. Testing IR remote function. You need to point IR remote to the side of the unit pretty much where the IR initials are on the right of the screen. 😃 Maybe you can do a follow up video showing how used in hobby electronics or pc diagnostics.

[leebenn]

hi i think you did excellent job on the video. it was easy listening and understanding. i order one today. thanks again keep up the excellent work.

[gordthor]

Some remotes aren't IR. Radio signal remotes are easy to tell because they don't need to be pointed at the receiver. Only 3 component are needed to build a remote tester. Any IR LED receiver, any color LED, 1 resistor and a 4V supply. Digital cameras can also be used to test IR remotes.

[phillippatterson]

I just got mine and thanks to you, I now have it calibrated. In the near future, could you please show how to adjust the scope probe? I would really appreciate that. Great video and I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 🧐

[PicaDelphon]

This be a great Field Kit add on for when I have to go onsite work, these are great size to go into a tool box / or old fish tackle Box...

[Amagddon]

Looking forward to watching this later, their soldering iron was really nice. I already have a cheap rechargeable component tester but this certainly looks interesting.
