[Elecraft] capacitors?

Sun Nov 10 15:30:01 2002

Before I started on my K-2 (S/N 1757), I ordered the AADE LC meter on the
advice of a friend (W4ULY).  I used it to verify every component that I
could before installation.  It took a little more time, but the K-2 worked
perfectly, and aligned easily, from the moment I first fired it up.
Therefore, I think it is money and time well spent.  I will second what
everyone has said about this instrument.  It is relatively inexpensive,
extremely well designed, very easy to put together and use, and is deadly
accurate over a wide range of values.
