Is this full voltage or like uTracer short pulse. Is the Gm from database or calculated?

It's pulsed, most tube testers are pulsed (there are a couple that aren't that have their own limitations). Gm is calculated. The GUI is a special newer version of utMax (which is open source), and it has modeling (modeling currently needs to be fixed though) for better Gm readings based on operating point.

I would definitely be interested in building one of them!

Awesome, I'm glad to know there's more interest out there. My tube amp forum obviously has interest too. I'll need to buy more PIC chips before I can sell more than...2 lol. But also, unless you have a stockpile of convenient parts, a lot of the parts on the BOM are backordered until next year. Yay for covid supply chains. 🙄
I'll eventually build a website with build info and share the link here.
How are you with SMD stuff? There's a few tiny things on there. 😉
Thanks,
Josh

Haven't played too much with SMD stuff thus far, but do have a preheater, a hot air tool, and fine tips for my regular iron. And yeah, the supply chain is a total clusterfuck. Been dealing with it trying to get parts for work - it's crazy. Stock expected six or more months down the road. On things like Molex Connector housings. WTF? :palm:
