[Elecraft] DMM Minimum Capacitance Measurements ?

[Fraser Robertson]

Jim, from memory typical DMM's do not have low capacitance ranges.  I have a 
LCR type portable DMM that has more useful ranges, but is not so good for 
voltage and current measurements.  It's lowest capacitance range is 200pF 
full scale so it's possible to measure C's in the pF region.  Over here such 
meters cost about £80, a lot more than typical cheap DMM's.  I found it very 
handy for checking C's and L's when building the K2.
