[ARC5] Boonton Q-Meter (free)

[Mike Feher]

A Q meter is very useful even today. If you do not have a igital LCR meter, it can easily measure very low values of inductance and capacitance. So, for any RF design in a budget limited lab, it is almost irreplaceable. I first started using them about 50 years ago, although now I have better ways of making those measurement. 73 – Mike

Mine is model 190A (20-260 mhz).

 

I don't know what use it may be other than to a manufacturer.

     In fact Q-meters can be very useful especially the later 260-A. 
This was much improved over the older 160-A.  There is also a model 190A 
that operates in the VHF region.  Q-meters are rather misunderstood. I 
would grab this one if I were closer. Unfortunately I am on the other 
side of the country.
