My Meterman 34XR has 4 scales - 4000, 400, 40 and 4 uF max scale, resolution is 1 nF. Not terribly useful for things like building K2's - which annoys me, because I bought it to build my K2, and intentionally bought a meter that can measure capacitance. That's what I get for not paying attention to the range that it could measure... :-( Oh well, it's still a very nice meter. I'll probably end up buying this: http://www.aade.com/lcmeter.htm when I can afford it and want to spoil myself. The specs say it can measure ".010 pf to 1 uF (most units measure to 1.5 uF)". Also inductance: ".001 uHy (1 nHy) to 100 mHy (most units measure to 150 mHy)". -- 73, Brian VE7NGR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
