[Elecraft] Another K2 Capacitor Question....

Sun Jan 6 09:01:02 2002

All of this discussion makes me think it would be great to have a
capacitance meter on the bench, yet this is something most hams probably
don't have.

Has anyone seen a simple circuit which would allow capacitor values to be
checked using, say, a signal source, an RF probe, and a DMM?  In other
words, a "capacitance probe"?

Rick,

  Mine looked like 2R7 even with two magnifiers back to back. One looked a
bit more like a 'R', and the other looked more like an '8' with at least
most of the bottom missing. Put them: they work FB.
