I just built the AADE (Almost All Digital Electronics) LC meter kit, 
it's a very nice little unit and biased towards ham radio, being very 
good at the smaller values of L and C that we encounter in antenna/RF 
work. It took me about an hour to build, and I'd say it's worth the $99 
or so it cost - I think it was $105 or so with the shipping. The 
documentation is not up to Elecraft standard! But, the parts are so few 
it's not so bad, just read the instructions and notes through first and 
you'll be OK. You can get it factory built for $30 more. I hope this 
message isn't too SPAMish but if you need an LC meter in a hurry you 
may be tempted to get the B&K 878 which costs over 2x as much and you 
won't have that hands-on understanding. This is a very solid and easy 
to use unit. 73 de Alex NS6Y.
