MSRP >24k. Good luck designing "cheaper" measurement board to replace that one..

content: Argh, you're right of course Tin. I mistook the arbs for meters. What are the two old looking spectrum analysers (?) on top?Sent from my phone using Tapatalk

content: Look at how many arb they have! Also they have been able to store a bunch of anti-protons for more than 1 year? It's incredible!
