Jim, from memory typical DMM's do not have low capacitance ranges. I have a
LCR type portable DMM that has more useful ranges, but is not so good for
voltage and current measurements. It's lowest capacitance range is 200pF
full scale so it's possible to measure C's in the pF region. Over here such
meters cost about £80, a lot more than typical cheap DMM's. I found it very
handy for checking C's and L's when building the K2.
