[ARC5] LCR meter recommendations?

[Bry Carling]

Buy a used B&K hand held LCR meter at a hamfest for $25-50. Or some similar traditional brand. Nothing against the Chinese stuff but these older instruments are fantastically durable and reliable.

Do any of you use one of those digital LCR meters? I'm thinking of putting one on my Christmas
list if there's a not very expensive one that can reach small picofarad & microfarad values. Ones
I'm looked at so far seem to quit around 200pF and 100uH.

I have several non-digital such devices here, Wayne. Including a military job, Heathkit, a TO
clone, a Dave Smith Low Ohms meter,...and a small Chinese digital job which I bought off
eBay some time ago.

I have used the little Chinese job most often as it is very small, easily used, almost
automatic in its operation, and has so far proven to be accurate enough for my uses.

I can look it over a bit more closely and give you the model number later today.
