Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2002 13:16:56 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed Precedence: bulk Reply-To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org X-Listname: rsgb_lf_group Sender: A couple of addition things I think are worth-while to mention about this meter: The cost in the US is $99 + shipping and the readout is 4 digits (in contrast to the 3 on my LRC meter). Additionally, the instrument is auto-ranging which my $150 unit does not have - a particular advantage in the ease of use - and considering my rang switch is showing signs of wear after three years of frequent use. Bill A I purchased a kit for a capacitance/inductance meter a few weeks ago from http://www.aade.com/ and it is working excellent for building my LF station. It took a couple of hours to build and has no alignment needed to operate. It uses a PIC processor for a typical 1% accuracy. It was a piece of cake to build and everything was there and fit, as it should. Now I can measure my loops inductance so I can finally get on the air. Absolutley Mike. That kit is probably the most useful item I've ever built. It gets used every week and the ability to cancel out the capacitance or inductance of the test leads prior to making the measurement is way ahead of other instruments. 73 David G0MRF ********************************************************************* This footnote confirms that this e-mail message has been scanned for the presence of known computer viruses by the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre.
