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.

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.
