[Boatanchors] LCR meter recommendations - Proster LCR

[Bill Cotter]

Wayne,

I used an Almost All Digital Electronics L/C meter I purchased 
assembled from AADE. It worked well for most applications. Where it 
fell short was measuring capacitors under 47pF and coils below 
50uH. The readings would vary from test to test by a significant 
amount (+/- 8pF/8uH, or so). The other limitation was that it was 
impossible to measure power supply and audio chokes and 
transformers because of it's limited range.

Eventually, I purchases a Proster PSTTL168-AU LCR Multimeter from 
Amazon to Henries. It worked so well in the pF and uH ranges that I 
gave away the AADE L/C Meter to a friend.
